Hoturoa Barclay-Kerr of Te Toki Voyaging Trust

One of the things that weve been very interested in is learning the kinds of ways of navigation that Mau Piailug has been teaching everybody. So a few of us have been lucky enough to spend a little bit of time to listen to him and the things that he has to tell us about navigation and all those things. Were starting to find that there are some young people here in New Zealand who are interested in listening to those kinds of stories and doing those kinds of things too. So, something like the programme that we have here with these young children is we sit down and we spend time and look at the old traditions about canoes and the people who sailed not just to Aotearoa but other stories from all around the Pacific Ocean.
