Ana Eva Hei

Ana Eva Hei, also Uka ʻa Hei ʻa ʻArero, or Reina Eva (Queen Eva) (c.1849 – c.1949), was the consort of the penultimate ruler of Rapa Nui, Atamu Tekena. She was one of the last surviving Rapa Nui people to have been tattooed using traditional practices.

Along with Viriamo, Ana Eva Hei was among the last surviving women from Rapa Nui to receive traditional facial tattoos. Her tattoos were described by Alfred Métraux, who undertook a research expedition to her home from 1934 to 1935. He stated that her tattoos included: "two parallel stripes crossing her forehead from one ear to the other and the inner edge of the ear tattooed ... The design on her lower jaw is composed of a triangular figure which meets an oval design, together forming an open angle. Her hands are covered with thin blue lines reminiscent of mittens." The singer and community leader, Luis Pate Paoa, remembered meeting her when he was a child, recalling that she danced and sang a song about cannibalism.

Drawings that have been reported to depict Ana Eva Hei were made by Walter Knoche in 1911. However, according to researchers Cristián Moreno Pakarati and Rafal Wieczorek, Knoche did not label the images, and thus, they have proposed some doubt over whether she is the woman depicted. However, Adrienne Kaeppler believed there is significant circumstantial evidence that the subject in Knoche's illustrations is her.
