grave erreur de position et de nom; big error! it is not fatuiva but Tahuata island in the village of Hapatoni; the name is me'ae Eia ;Ralph Linton said in 1920: en arrière de la mer près de l'extrémité sud de la baie. Il était probablement associé au tohua qui autrefois se situait là où est l'église catholique. The normal position is -9.971000° and -139.125150° or 9°58'15"S and 139°07'32"W

I tried to move the pointer to the exact location specified by tupapau but had difficulty achieving the exact recommended position. It would be helpful if the people at panaramio would 1) Provide coordinate feedback when making the position change or 2) Provide a facility to type in the coordinates directly. Moving the pointer blindly, using only the map, is somewhat frustrating.

I thank tupapua for the clarifications. I beleive he is right and I have mad e the appropriate change.

Hello Dakare The position is very correct now, but the tittle name is still wrong "fatuiva... paepae ... fortification". The right name is "me'ae Eia Hapatoni" Happy new year!

I will add your suggested change. Pls keep in mind that the original title reflects how we were introduced to this site by an English speaking local . Thanks for taking the time to provide the name in your vernacular.
