Sunset over the Marae Vaiotaha, a stone courtyard with platform and standing stones, built by a Polynesian civilisation and used as a ceremonial and religious site, at the archaeological site at Maeva village, seen from the Fare Pote'e, a reconstruction of a round communal dwelling, built on stilts with a thatched roof, on the banks of Lake Fauna Nui or Maeva Lake, on Huahine-Nui on the island of Huahine, in the Leeward Islands, part of the Society Islands, in French Polynesia. The Fare Pote'e has been used as a house, meeting room, church, school and museum and has been rebuilt several times, most recently in 2000-01 by the Opu Nui Association. Maeva is thought to be an abandoned royal settlement, with many megalithic structures including marae, houses, agricultural structures, stone fish traps and fortification walls.
