DescriptionIn 1985, the Hokule'a with a mostly Hawaiian crew set forth to reclaim the history of Hawaiians as voyagers. Without sextant, or compass hawaiian navigator Nainoa Thompson led them from Hawaii to Tahiti, Rarotonga, and then to Aotearoa (new zealand) and back again graphically disproving the theorists who had declared the Hawaiians too primitive to have discovered their islands through purposeful travel.On View
