Changes

Between 1965 and 1970, the [[United States Air Force]] (USAF) settled on Easter Island, radically changing the way of life of the Rapa Nui, as they became acquainted with the customs of the consumer societies of the developed world. During this period, the government of Eduardo Frei Montalva enacted the Pascua Law, which meant a basic leveling between the rights of the islanders and the Chilean mainlanders.<ref>{{cite book|title=Iorana & Goodbye|publisher=Pehuén|author=Patricia Stambuk}}</ref><ref>[https://www.24horas.cl/nacional/la-desconocida-historia-de-la-base-gringa-albergada-en-isla-de-pascua-2132317 La desconocida historia de la base "gringa" albergada en Isla de Pascua]</ref>

Under the [[President of Chile|Presidency of the Republic]] of Captain General [[Augusto Pinochet|Augusto Pinochet Ugarte]], [[Easter Island]] is elevated to a level of importance and dedication from the Chilean authorities previously unthinkable, and one of the most important measures in this regard was the creation of the Province of Isla de Pascua, which culminated with the appointment of the eminent Rapa Nui archaeologist and international university academic, Mr. Sergio Rapu Haoa, With an austere administration and charismatic leadership Sergio Rapu Haoa generated a paradigm of local administration that has been maintained by all subsequent governments, which although it has lost prominence as a paradigm, due to political quotas and lack of support from the central government, has definitely established that a member of the Rapanui ethnic group is the representative of the central government in the territory.<ref>[https://polinesia-chilena.blogspot.com/2007/11/independentismo-secesionismo-y.html Independentismo, Secesionismo y Autonomia - Polinesia Chilena]</ref>
