Te Fata Aiai, engraving of the fata or raised wooden offering platform at Marae Arahurahu, Paea, in the Musee de Tahiti et des Iles, or Te Fare Manaha, at Punaauia, on the island of Tahiti, in the Windward Islands, Society Islands, French Polynesia. The offerings consisted of food for the gods, prepared by priests. The gods would take the essence of the food and the rest would be shared amongst the chiefs and warriors. The Museum of Tahiti and the Islands was opened in 1974 and displays collections of nature and anthropology, habitations and artefacts, social and religious life and the history of French Polynesia.
