When we think of the way the Easter Islanders let religion control their life we probably see it as strange but it is not strange and to link it to everyday life the possibilities are endless, they had a very strong belief system whether it be through the Tangata Manu festival/race or their statues, but they are still all mysteries.

Perspective is also quite a huge part in Easter Island's history as to the Islanders it was probably all they knew to use their religion as their number one motive, an example of this is how they built their statues which used their resources and how they did a dangerous egg race to see who ruled their supply of birds/eggs or who became the 'Tangata - Manu'.

The cause of resource decline on Easter Island is from the statues and it also could be from the Tangata Manu not distributing bird eggs and fledglings according to who needs it, e.g having a bad Tangata Manu. The effect this has on the people is them not having the resources to fullfill opportunities handed to them/not being able to work to their full potential.

The Tangata Manu race was a factor of Cause and Effect because the cause was their beliefs and how they believed things should be done but the effect was not only good it was also bad because people died during this time from drowning or falling off cliff faces.

Their culture meant they took a lot of risks whether it be with their lives or recources but they always kept the traditions e.g. Tangata Manu race.

Sustainability on Easter Island took a bad hit when they chose to build statues, this took down rock-like resources and also was hard to put up e.g wood to move the statues with.

Culture was very important to the Easter island people and a big part of their culture was their statues (still unexplained) and their Tangata Manu who was picked by whoever's Hopu collected the egg and then would be announced Bird Man for around a year.

Sustainability links to Tangata Manu as Tangata Manu chose how the eggs and fledglings were distributed.
