      Lenses

      A lens is a custom view of Connexions content. You can think of it as a fancy kind of list that will let you see Connexions through the eyes of organizations and people you trust.

      What is in a lens?

      Lens makers point to Connexions materials (modules and collections), creating a guide that includes their own comments and descriptive tags about the content.

      Who can create a lens?

      Any individual Connexions member, a community, or a respected organization.

The Pacific: A.D. 1401 to 1500

THE PACIFIC

Back to The Pacific: A.D. 1301 to 1400

Regarding Australia please see previous modules. It is estimated that the true Polynesians arrived on Easter Island in the late 1400s and lived peacefully there with their predecessors for about 200 years. The remnants of true Polynesian culture are few today, however, indicating that the previous South American cultures were dominant, even after the final battles, which will be described in the 17th century chapter. With the exception of some part of the later Easter Island vocabulary and some of the primitive wood-cutting tools, there are no current Polynesian cultural traits on that island. (Ref. 95) Hawaii, the Marquesas, Society Islands, New Zealand and the other eastern Pacific islands all had active Polynesian colonies by this century.
