Victoria Veriamo a Huki a Parapara, also known as Viriamo (c. 1840 – c. 1941), was one of the last surviving indigenous women of Easter Island to have been tattooed using traditional practices, along with Ana Eva Hei. She was a cultural informant who shared information about indigenous Rapa Nui culture with European visitors, the same knowledge she also shared with her son Juan Tepano, who in turn also functioned as a cultural informant.
