Marquesas
The Fourth Season
Airdate: Spring/2002

Archipelago is situated in the middle of the vast Pacific Ocean.
The Marquesas Islands lie between 400 and 600 miles south
of the equator and approximately 1,000 miles northeast of Tahiti.

Hiva. The Marquesas are among the largest island groups
of French Polynesia and were formerly a major center of east
Polynesian civilization
Terrain: The islands are of
volcanic origin with thick jungles and waterfalls. Breathtaking
vistas of the Pacific, rugged mountainscapes and lush tropical
terrain. No-nos (mosquito-like bugs) were a common insect nuisance
for the Survivor contestants.
Culture:
Marquesas is the
primordial home of the tiki statues (stone statues that are
believed to represent deified ancestors). Tikis are placed
on the cobbled stone platforms (paepaes) whose purpose is to raise
their praised spirits high above the ground. Sacred dances
and religious rites often took place around their bases. The
tattoos on the island's locals are tiki designs, applied
using traditional instruments. Tapa Paintings
areprimitive fabrics made in tropical and subtropical
countries from the soft inner bark of certain trees.
The two original tribes of Survivor: Marquesas
were Rotu and Maraamu. Eventually the two were merged into the
Soliantu tribe.
