Hotu-iti

Hotu-iti (also, "Tongariki territory") is an area of southeastern Easter Island that takes its name from a local clan.

Located in Rapa Nui National Park, the area includes Rano Raraku crater, the Ahu Tongariki site, and a small bay.

[2][3] According to local legend, the god Tangaroa was killed in the bay and was buried in the vicinity.

[10] In Polynesian mythology, Hotu-iti was the youngest and favourite son of Hotu Matu'a, the legendary first settler of Easter Island.

[10][11] One of the known chiefs of the Hotu-iti clan was Kainga, said to be a descendant of the sixth son of the first king who "proved himself a valiant warrior."
