The beauty of the Micronesian culture and the wisdom of Papa Mau who is from Yap helped our cousins from Polynesia revived and navigate them back to what they’ve lost. At least a show of gratitude to Papa Mau. Awesome job for not acknowledging the true person behind this success.

I can't believe the first European voyagers didn't instantly start asking questions about the Polynesian sailing tradition and their means of shipbuilding & navigation. surely in some Portuguese or British logbook, there's some information perhaps otherwise lost.

I think there is some stuff in captain cooks logs he writes a lot about the tahair and what he told cook how much faster there ships were ect but I think when Europeans turned up there was like a civil war going on in the pacific and alot of the inter island sailing has stopped. They still knew were all the islands were and tonga and Tahiti still has ocean going ships but I think something was up

I thinks the logs for the HMS dolphin talks about the different types of ships and sizes in Tahiti I'm to believe they were the first ship to go to Tahiti and captain cook turned up there 2 years later cooks logs also talk about Tahiti ships and there speed according to the tahitian they had on bord tarhear (bad spelling) there are also other reports from Tonga and how the tongan people had big sheds to store their ocean going shipping

It's all there. It just wasn't a part of the western culture of the time. Our science today is based upon this history of ours so we don't learn it. The English/Europeans culture and economy took over the world economy and for some reason we don't teach the actual history before that (which is most history) that wasn't based upon skin colour as part of a culture. It happens to our detriment in today's world climate.

They didn't mention papa mau who led the navigation...why he didn't RETURN??? Bcz they complained on board way too much during first voyage.... true master navigators are spiritual...to complain or overwhelm themselves w negative talk is not tolerated due to the spiritual nature of objective....he didn't even go to the landing ceremony ...he wanted no part due to the voyage of negative emotions

Kapu_elias there were many sides to the story, I'm real how they twist the truth to become to become fact. No mention of mai at all?! I remember sitting around listening to the uncle's talk about "pvs" or other wise known as the scientist guys. The song says " stand beside me be my friend, make me smile and laugh again" for a reason. Auwe

interesting that there is no credit to Mau because without him there wont be any traditional knowledge to the Hawaiians. it is said that you take all the credit without giving back to who have thought you.

Give credit where credit is due! It’s embarrassing and sad to watch this documentary and not once give credit to Mau from Satawal, Yap Micronesia who helped the Hawaiians revive the art of traditional navigation. Through out this video everyone keep thanking their Hawaiian ancestors who gave them their navigational skills, instead of Maui! Thank you Mau! The Hawaiians are indebted to you and your people for teaching and showing them an art they had lost.
