Polynesian Voyaging Society CEO Nainoa Thompson today announced a major change to the Moananuiākea Voyage sail plan. In the wake of the devastating fires on Maui, Hōkūleʻa will return home from San Diego, California in late December, before continuing on the circumnavigation of the Pacific.

Thompson said "The level of hurt thatʻs happening in our home is something I canʻt comprehend. All I know is that we have to come home because of it." He also said "Lahaina is a voyaging powerhouse," and "I believe the family is going to need the canoe and the canoe is going to need the family."

Thompson said another contributing factor to leadershipʻs decision is the earthʻs unprecedented weather patterns including the current El Nino phenomenon, a period of unusually warm water in the Pacific Ocean, which has global impact.

Thompson said "This is the first time that I know of that we're having to really make decisions about a really established hot earth plus the heat of El Nino. Add it together and we donʻt know what the risk is gonna be anymore." He said "The job of the navigator is to protect that canoe and those who sail it and the way to do that is to watch nature, and make decisions on when it's time to go and when it's not time to go."

It has not yet been determined how long Hōkūleʻa will be in Hawaiʻi, but Thompson said the Moananuiākea Voyage will be completed within the original timeframe, and commitments made to communities around the Pacific will be kept.

NĀ KĀLAI WAʻA

Nā Kālai Waʻa is a non-profit 501c (3) organization dedicated to the maintaining of cultural values and customs through the teaching and applying of non instrument navigation and open ocean voyaging.

Ka Manu Kāhea honors the many voices of the canoe. Starting with the story of a single man learning to chant at the ocean, and first finding his way around sung histories, the film then follows the birth of canoes as told and remembered through chants and songs, both from the past and the present. Ka Manu Kāhea features the stories, voices, and melodies of those who were instrumental in the building, launching, and sailing of the single-hulled canoe, Mauloa, and later the double-hulled canoe, Makaliʻi. The film is a call, like the call of the manu kāhea, to invite everyone back to the waʻa, back to the ocean, and back to our shared memories and histories.

"Gaze towards the Origins"
Past
It is believed that the Hawaiian Islands were uninhabited until around 400 AD when the first Polynesians arrived.

Our Polynesian Ancestors sailed across the vast Pacific Ocean in search of a homeland bringing with them plants for food, clothing, and shelter utilizing their ike knowledge of navigating by the stars and natural elements such as the wind, rain, ocean currents, and sea birds.

The Hui started gathering in 1975, but was officially formed as a 501(c)3 organization in 1978 and launched:
