She was saying that her Grandmother had a much better knowledge of the stars than her. She told her many stories about the constellations and observations that were made of stars. She said that she was aware of the stellar spectra without having observed it herself. Her Grandmother was likely alive before the reservations were instated in the area.

IEI has developed numerous projects that preserve traditional knowledge, protect the knowledge in terms of Indigenous protocol, and apply it to areas such as astronomy and other science disciplines.” 72 Additional Resources • Cultural Connections: The Northern Lights: • Lifelong learners discover the wonders and science of the aurora, or northern lights, through the perspective of Inupiat culture. The Northern Lights video, available via the website, showcases Inupiat culture and language. From the Geophysical Institute at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks. 73 Additional Resources • Little Singer Community School STREAM Program Expo at Birdsprings Chapter Dome: • Little Singer Comm. School elementary students presented various, award- winning STREAM projects at the Birdsprings Chapter Dome community center. The students were listened to by elders, family members, community members, and representatives from various, supportive and collaborative organizations. Participants experienced an eventful evening of community celebration. From the NASA Space Science Education Consortium. 74 Additional Resources • Exploring the Solar System: Hide and Seek Moon • An engaging way for early childhood learners to experiment with some of the tools scientists use to study objects that are very, very far away, and to learn about how cultures around the world have viewed the Moon. Especially see the Cultural Moon info sheet. From the National Informal STEM Education Network (NISE Net). 75 Additional Resources • AstroDash: • This game takes a popular game format for tweens, teens and adults (Balderdash), and changes the question categories to focus on observational astronomy, with a focus on native American, native Hawaiian, and native Alaskan cultures. This format allows for a focus on being exposed to the similarities and differences in sky stories across cultures, rather than focusing on getting the right answer. This game has been tested in libraries across the country (including with multiple indigenous populations), and our libraries recommend it for ages 13+. From the Space Science Institute. 76 To ensure we meet the needs of the education community (you!), NASA’s UoL is committed to performing regular evaluations, to determine the effectiveness of Professional Learning opportunities like the Science Briefings.

  • The Sons of Palulap: Navigating Without Instruments in Oceania
    RESOURCE FILE 1 of 2 Unit 1 - The Oceans: Historical Perspectives The Sons of Palulap: Navigating Without Instruments in Oceania Darkness fell as the rain of another line squall hissed across the tropical Pacific. The stars were smudged out. Our navigator, Piailug, ordered us to drop the sail of our 30-foot outrigger canoe, Suntory. White Horse, our partner canoe, followed suit, and we settled down to endure the chilly, wet night. Piailug estimated that we were just inside the etak of birds, the fishing grounds for seabirds from the island of Pikelot, our destination. There we drifted, waiting for morning, when the birds would fly out from their nesting sites and thus indicate the way to the island. Two days before, our little fishing expedition had left Satawal, one of the most remote of Micronesia's Caroline Islands. Our purpose was to catch sea turtles, fish, and octopus for the 600 hungry Satawalese. We were led by Mau Piailug, one of the last of the palu. These Micronesian navigators pilot hand-hewn canoes without charts or instruments, guided only by the sea's signs of land: stars, birds, and patterns of waves. Thousands of years ago Piailug's distant cousins, the Polynesians, probably used similar navigational techniques on their epic voyages of discovery to the Marquesas, Tahiti, Hawaii, Easter Island, and New Zealand. The Polynesians spread throughout the Pacific from the west in small sailing canoes like that shown opposite. (Map courtesy of Bernice P. Bishop Museum. Photo by author/The Navigators).

Grayzel: Polynesian Civilization and the Future Colonization of Space Comparative Civilizations Review 7 Polynesian Civilization and the Future Colonization of Space John Grayzel Abstract Polynesian civilization was configured — prior to Western colonization — in ways similar to that sometimes described as necessary for humanity's interstellar migration into space. Over thousands of years and miles, across open ocean, a core population expanded to settle on hundreds of scattered islands, while maintaining shared identity, continued awareness and repetitive contact with each other. Key to their expansion was their development of robust ocean-going vessels and their extraordinary abilities to navigate across vast expanses of open water. The first half of the 1800s saw a surge in contacts between Polynesia and western missionaries and whalers, followed by significant depopulation due to disease and, after 1850, the imposition of Western political control.

  • Comments Concerning Mau and Hokulea
    Lord Haw-Ha Many, many thanks to Captain Chad Kalapea Baybayan for setting the record straight in this article. As an opinion, of all the articles read to date on the new Honolulu Star-Advertiser this particular article will go down as bordering on a masterpiece of goodwill. The late Pius Mau Piailug attempted to unify rather than divide, we find ourselves distanced by political and geographical ideologies, national and nationalistic boundaries which are not visible from space. Hawaiian National the late Israel Kamakawiwiole said onetime some words to the effect: "There is only one race people.... the human race. "May we always remember with pride Mau's passion for building bridges instead of walls, wishing his 'ohana the fortitude to bear their sad loss, and harmony always in the knowledge Pius Mau Piailug's legacy will stand as an iconic beacon of light in Hawai'i nei. May he rest in peace. Waimea Cowboy When you are reminded of this your eyes open to the cruel ignorance behind the Akaka Bill, which seeks to divide us. Imua! Ken Conklin 2 days ago Thanks to Chad Baybayan for an outstanding, inspirational essay. For those who might not know: Mr. Baybayan is one of the ten people (along with Nainoa Thompson) who were given the title "master navigator" by Mau Piailug in a sacred ceremony on Satawal in March 2007. My dear friend Kumu Kawena (Professor Emerita Rubellite Kawena Johnson) once gave a speech at the Heritage Foundation in Washington D.C. in which she spoke a sentence capturing the spirit of Mau Piailug and reiterated in this essay by Chad Baybayan: a sentence I have embraced as my own expression of who we all are: I am an indigenous person of this Earth.

  • Hawaiian Star Compass Wa'a Alaka'i Hōkūle'a E'ala
    Voyaging Petroglyph Artwork “We were born to be free and the canoe is a symbol of that freedom because it allowed us to go where we needed to go to exercise our beliefs and culture. Everybody on the canoe is important; everybody has a job with all of those jobs working in unity to accomplish the voyage. The canoe is a symbol of coming together and for that we honor the canoe.” ~ Kauila Clark, Native Hawaiian Artist HAWAIIAN STAR COMPASS Traditional Polynesian navigators depended on all of the natural elements in order to navigate. They used the stars and when those were obscured they used other indicators such as the waves, the wind, the birds, dolphins and other sea life. That created a close tie between the people and nature and reinforced their trust in Io, the Creator. Traditional Navigators today must develop that same close connection to nature. The Hawaiian star compass, developed by Master Navigator Nainoa Thompson, is not a physical compass, but a mental construct that helps the navigator memorize the rising and setting positions of stars, flight paths of birds, directions of the waves and other signs in nature needed to find their way. In the center of the Hawaiian star compass is Manu (Bird) with his beak, tail and outstretched wing-tips pointing midway between the four cardinal directions. WA‘A The wa‘a is the Hawaiian word for the traditional carved canoe with the distinctive outrigger (spars attached to a shaped log or float parallel to the hull) that helped stabilize the canoe. The single-hull version served as the workhorse for Native Hawaiians and their Polynesian ancestors and was used for recreation, fishing and short trips around the island.

  • Hokulea Voyaging Trail
    Hōkūle‘a Voyaging Trail “If I have courage, it is because I have faith in the knowledge of my ancestors.” Mau Piailug, Pwo (Master) Navigator The Hōkūle‘a Voyaging Trail (behind you) was created to honor and recognize voyaging and the traditional non-instrument method of navigation called “wayfinding” that used information in the heavens and other clues in nature to navigate vast distances of open ocean. The ancient Polynesians used this complex navigational system to voyage to islands throughout the Pacific including to and from the Hawaiian Islands. Navigators were revered as highly as chiefs for their special knowledge, which was taught to them from a very young age through oral tradition. The construction and 1975 launching of the traditional double-hulled canoe, Hōkūle‘a (Star of Gladness) marked a rebirth in Hawai‘i of this ancient art and helped fuel the renaissance of Native Hawaiian culture, language and arts taking place at that time. More wa‘a (canoes) were built in the years that followed as a new generation learned traditional wayfinding from Pwo (Master) navigators including Mau Piailug, one of only a handful of practitioners in Polynesia still alive during that time and able to share their knowledge. Through the years, Hōkūle‘a spread its message of hope and inspiration as it explored the Pacific Ocean and the deeper spiritual meaning of “voyaging”. In May 2014, she set sail with her sister ship, Hikianalia, for her most ambitious voyage to date; a three-year circumnavigation of Earth. The voyage made real a dream of Myron “Pinky” Thompson, visionary leader for more than two decades of the Polynesian Voyaging Society, to embark on a worldwide voyage that would inspire and unite cultures around the world to mālama honua (care Photo provided by Polynesian Voyaging Society and ʻŌiwi TV Photographer: Bryson Hoe for our island earth).

  • Teretere Moana
    TERETERE MOANA Mapping genealogical narratives of identity through animated projection ERENA DONNELLY 2019 Abstract Teretere Moana is a navigational methodology that I have developed to describe a way of utilising researching skills towards the creation of an animation for a media art installation. This methodology encompasses the what, where, why and how, I developed an artwork, which started from an intuitive vision. This methodology is a heuristic inquiry, as it comes from a place of informed subjectivity and intuition (Ings, 2002). The concept for my research came from an ancient story relating to the Takitumu vaka which arrived in Rarotonga possibly during 1100-1200 AD. My methodology entwines old traditional knowledge through storytelling passed down by our tupunas, and with the stories told, we use them as a guidance platform for today. Adapting the old way of completing a task, we interlace our knowledge/intelligence, our ideas, cultural aspects to set forth a task at hand. An essential reference in this journey has been the writing of Manulani Aluli-Meyer, who suggests that by using Pacific epistemologies we become unrestricted by ‘objectivity’ and we can validate our subjectivity (Aluli-Meyer, 2006). Sometimes we see it as a ‘whole’, (a sense of knowing the outcome or a rough draft) and here we look for the start of the journey, by building the foundation. A foundational concept is a mapping tool, and from this structure, I work backward to achieve the result of my initial vision. Seeing the completion from the beginning, I enter a journey toward the unknown that lies in-between, to tell the story of my ancestor Ka’ukura.
