86% Informative
A canoe launched in 1975 helped turn Hawaiian culture from a source of shame to one of pride.
The Hokulea helped revive the skill of traveling the seas by decoding the stars, waves and weather.
In 1980 , Nainoa Thompson became the first Hawaiian in six centuries to navigate to Tahiti without a compass.
A resurgence of Hawaiian pride and identity starting in the late 1960s and 1970s set off a cultural renaissance.
Polynesian Voyaging Society navigated Hokulea to Tahiti in 1980 .
It inspired other Pacific Island communities to revive or newly appreciate their wayfinding traditions.
The voyaging society overhauled itself in response, setting clear goals and training requirements.
“Hokulea sort of helped us remind the world of this,” said Chamorro , the Indigenous people of the Mariana Islands .
