How had these brown-skinned peo­ ple reached the many far-flung islands of Polynesia? When? And whence had they come? The mystery lingered for centuries. Not until 1920-the year I joined the staff of the Bernice P.

In subsequent years scientists fanned out over the Pacific to salvage whatever knowledge of their past the Polynesians retained.

  • Herb Kane Dies at Age 82"
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herb_Kawainui_Kane Herb Kawainui Kāne Herbert "Herb" Kawainui Kāne (June 21, 1928 – March 8, 2011), considered one of the principal figures in the renaissance of Hawaiian culture in the 1970s, was a celebrated artist-historian and author with a special interest in the seafaring traditions of the ancestral peoples of Hawaiʻi. Kāne played a key role in demonstrating that Hawaiian culture arose not from some accidental seeding of Polynesia, but that Hawaiʻi was reachable by voyaging canoes from Tahiti able to make the journey and return. This offered a far more complex notion of the cultures of the Pacific Islands than had previously been accepted.1 Furthermore, he created vivid imagery of Hawaiian culture prior to contact with Europeans, and especially the period of early European influence, that sparked appreciation of a nearly forgotten traditional life. He painted dramatic views of war, exemplified by The Battle at Nuʻuanu Pali, the potential of conflicts between cultures such as in Cook Entering Kealakekua Bay, where British ships are dwarfed and surrounded by Hawaiian canoes, as well as bucolic quotidian scenes and lush images of a robust ceremonial and spiritual life, that helped arouse a latent pride among Hawaiians during a time of general cultural awakening.2 Early life and education as an artist Kāne (kɑh-nay) was born in the community of Paynesville, Minnesota in the United States.3 His father, who was also named, Herbert, worked in family poi business, and became a paniolo (Hawaiian cowboy), then traveled the US in a Hawaiian Band.

  • Restoring a Forgotten Tradition, Stories of Nainoa Thompson And
    Restoring a Forgotten Tradition Stories of Nainoa Thompson and the Recovery of the Lost Art of Ocean Navigation Nainoa Thompson, navigator for the Polynesian Voyaging Society, has inspired a revival of traditional voyaging arts in Hawai'i and Polynesia - arts which were lost due to the cessation of cross-ocean voyaging and the colonization and Westernization of the Polynesian archipelagos. In 1980, Thompson became the first Hawaiian and the first Polynesian to practice the art of Away-finding@ on long distance ocean voyages since voyaging ended in Polynesia several centuries ago. Thompson has developed a system of wayfinding, or non-instrument navigation, synthesizing traditional principles of ancient Pacific navigation and modern scientific knowledge. This system of wayfinding is now taught in schools throughout Hawai'i. In addition to being a navigator, Thompson is a leader with a vision, and a charismatic, spell-binding storyteller. The following accounts of the revival of voyaging and traditional navigation in modern times, the story of the Polynesian Voyaging Society, and the Society's vision and mission for rethinking the future of Hawai'i, is presented, as much as possible, in Thompson's own words from his interviews, talks and writings. Childhood and Schooling Nainoa grew up on his grandfather's dairy and chicken farm in Niu Valley when the valley was still all country. It was Yoshio Kawano, the milkman, who introduced the ocean to Nainoa. Dawn would often find Nainoa sitting on Yoshi's doorstep, waiting for Yoshi to take him fishing. Yoshi would bundle Nainoa into the old car, and off they'd go to fish in the streams or on the reefs.
