Hōkūle'a: Star Navigation

Hōkūlea crewmember Kaina Holomalia shares some of the basics of star navigation with the students of the Nā Pua Noeau Summer Program.

Kaina was a watch captain on the recent voyage to Palmyra Atoll, 1,000 miles south of Hawai'i. Crewmembers are training for the Hōkūle'a Wolrdwide Voyage in which the traditional Hawaiian canoe will circumnavigate the Earth using ancient Polynesian navigation techniques. The crew carry with them the idea that we are all crew members on Canoe Earth and, just as on Hōkūle'a, we need to care for one another an our resources.

Omg this is awesome! It makes so much sense too haha

What about the people that can read the waves and how they move and stuff, and they can actually tell how the waves are where an island is. Crazy...
