I'd say the destruction of the culture was nearly complete. My own experience is that most Rapa Nui know less about their own ancient culture than
the out siders who studied its remnants. They are however knowledgeable of the post collapse society. They lost their priest hood, elders and matrons
in the quano raiders, Gambler island deportation and small pox disasters.
Oh one correction the name should be Routledge not Rutledge.
