what lessons can be made from the self descruction of the native tribes that used to live on the easter islands? is this a lesson to the rest of the world to show how fragile it really is?

I'd say that it is just an example of human nature. We are doing it to the rest of the word, too. Intelligent creatures should learn from their past mistakes, shouldn't they? You'd think...

Understand and respect:
“The very existence of such an ancient world grid has been staunchly resisted by mainstream archaeologists and historians – as, of course, have all attempts to relate known sites to it. Nevertheless, the definite traces of lost astronomical knowledge that are to be seen on Easter Island, and the recurrent echoes of ancient Egyptian spiritual and cosmological themes, cast doubt on the scholarly explanation that the odd name ‘Navel of the World’ was adopted for purely ‘poetic and descriptive’ reasons. We suspect that Te-Pito-O-Te-Henua may originally have been selected for settlement, and given its name, entirely because of its geodetic location.” “What we are suggesting therefore is that Easter Island might have originally have been settled in order to serve as a sort of geodetic beacon, or marker – fulfilling some function in an ancient global system of sky-ground co-ordinates that linked many so-called ‘world navels’”.

I studied Easter Island in one of my cultural classes. The basic lesson to be learned is to be mindful of your resources, and to work together for common goals. It cannot be everyone for themselves.
But as is human, we only learn from some mistakes, and often think it won't happen to us.

It shows that we as humans have to learn from history. Many people do not pay attention to history and you can see the same type of events occurring over and over.
Also, Eastern Cherokee, you are a great answerer.
wow.

Maybe you're already figuring out this one for yourself.
How did the tribes destroy their society or communities?
Do you think the world learns from the lessons of history?

Yes ,they did on a small scale what the whole world is doing today.
