PART B_2

One Ocean, One People
Uchino Kanako is the first Japanese crew of Hokule’a and shared the traditional Polynesian navigation process in an interview. Hokule’a is a replica of a traditional Polynesian canoe that sails across the Pacific Ocean. These canoes have some ropes that are kilometers long used to tie the hulls. Currently, Kanako and her team use GPS for navigation, but traditional Polynesian navigators were known as “wayfinders” who used nature to show them the way. The wayfinders watch for natural signs from the moon, sun, stars, clouds, winds, and birds.

To start, wayfinders carefully observed the position of the rising sun in the early morning. They read the patterns of the waves they refer to as “faces of the ocean” before the sun got higher in the sky. During the days, the wayfinders keep their canoes at the same angle as the waves so that they maintain going to the right direction.
