The Polynesian navigator Kupe is credited with the discovery of the
land his expedition named Aotearoa, country of the long white
cloud. How did he and the many voyagers that followed find their
way without modern navigational techniques through perilous seas in
wooden canoes?By examining myth, star charts and contemporary
Polynesian seafaring, Jeff Evans traces the methods by which the
early explorers made their epic voyages in Part One. The book s
second part travels with Maori canoe expert Matahi Brightwell and
navigator Frances Cowan aboard the traditional canoe Hawaiki-nui
following age0old navigational techniques with no modern aids on
its historic voyage from Tahiti down to New Zealand."
