Abstract
This activity would fit in with a secondary or college algebra class studying conic sections, in particular ellipses, and gives students a multicultural hands-on application of the definition of an ellipse, while tracing out a scale model of the foundation of a hare paenga (boat house) from prehistoric Easter Island (Rapa Nui)..
