French missionaries went to the Gambier group in 1834, and in 1844 a French protectorate was proclaimed, followed by annexation in 1881.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-race-is-tahitian\"><\/span>What race is Tahitian?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The Tahitians (Tahitian: M\u0101\u02bcohi; French: Tahitiens) are the Polynesian ethnic group indigenous to Tahiti and thirteen other Society Islands in French Polynesia. The numbers may also include the modern population in these islands of mixed Polynesian and French ancestry (French: demis).<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-language-is-spoken-in-tahiti\"><\/span>What language is spoken in Tahiti?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>French is the official language of The Islands of Tahiti.

A. As with any tropical destination, you may encounter some insects during your stay. To avoid any mosquito or fly bites, be sure to pack bug spray.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-are-the-dangers-in-tahiti\"><\/span>What are the dangers in Tahiti?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Warnings &#038; Dangers in Tahiti<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"are-there-mosquitoes-in-tahiti\"><\/span>Are there mosquitoes in Tahiti?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>ENVIRONMENT.
