Easter Island police finally evicted 5 Rapa Nui indigena people occupying the grounds of the luxurious Hangaroa Eco Village and Spa since last August.
The Hitorangi clan says the land on which the hotel was built was illegally taken from their ancestors generations ago.
50 police removed the final five occupiers, who were arrested and released pending court hearings.
