Ted: Ted Ed: How Did Polynesian Wayfinders Navigate the Pacific Ocean?

Curated by ACT

Imagine setting sail from Hawaii in a canoe. Your target is a small island thousands of kilometers away in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. For thousands of years, Polynesian navigators managed voyages like this without the help of modern navigational aids. Alan Tamayose and Shantell De Silva explain how they did it.
