Celebrating Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month
Charles Nainoa Thompson, President of the Polynesian Voyaging Society, is a pwo (master) navigator. He is the first Native Hawaiian since the 14th Century to practice wayfinding (art and science of ancient non-instrument navigation) for long distance ocean voyaging. Nainoa’s first solo voyage sailed between Hawaii and Tahiti in 1980. Among his many voyages, he covered more than 16,000 ocean miles navigating the storied canoe, Hokule`a, across Polynesia from Hawaii to New Zealand and back between 1985-87. Nainoa has dedicated his life to exploring the deeper meaning of voyaging. He has trained a new generation of navigators and has led a revival of traditional arts and values of caring for nature and culture associated with wayfinding.
