In several valleys are the remains of settlements of the Polynesian natives, who are recognized by their dense overgrown paepae (home platforms). Very little of it is exposed or restored. The urbanization of the revered as divine Heato chief and his clan is in Hakamoui Valley, which is, Mango and chestnut, pandanus and huge banyan trees grow wild on romantic subjects with coconut and palm trees. The widely branched plant covered the whole valley, although hidden in the dense vegetation residential and Zeremonialplattformen are not easy to detect. The related buildings from ephemeral materials are long gone. Karl von den Steinen believed to have identified the Zeremonialplattform (marae), was buried in the chief Heato. He photographed the skeletal remains of his grandson Teiki Teiuao that had been stored in a (preliminary) sky burial on the stone pedestal. [10] An excellent example of the highly developed stone carving of the island is an expressive Tiki Head of bright Ke'etu tuff at the front of a residential platform at the "Place of the young women" (mata'aute'a).
