The British Museum is facing calls to return a moai statue to Easter Island, sparked by a social media campaign by a Chilean influencer. Easter Island is a Chilean dependency in the Pacific Ocean that is famous for the statues. The statue, called Hoa Hakananai’a (“lost or stolen friend”), was taken to England without permission in 1868. #easterisland #britishmuseum #moai #chile
