N1 - Funding Information: First and foremost, we thank the wonderful people of the islands who willingly shared their precious memories with us; they are, unfortunately, too numerous to list individually. We are particularly grateful to Mayors Lucien Kemitete (Nuku Hiva), Rend Kohumeitini (Ua Pou), Tehivetope Kamia (Fatu Hiva), and Governor Enrique Ximena (Easter Island), who helped identify witnesses and put many resources of their communities at our disposal. Jacques Talandier, Dominique Reymond, and Olivier Hyvernaud are thanked for many conversations on tsunamis in Polynesia, as well as for supporting the logistical aspects of the project. Emilio Lorca also helped our logistics in Santiago. Jean-Louis Candelot shared his personal experience of, and insight into, tsunamis in the Marquesas. Sue Hough provided helpful comments on the original manuscript. Our work in Polynesia was authorized by the Haut-Commissariat de la Rdpublique en Polyndsie franqaise. We acknowledge support from the National Science Foundation, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Joint Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Research (United States); and the Commissariat ~i l't~nergie Atomique (France). Maps were drawn using the GMT software (Wessel and Smith, 1991).
