Talofa lava,
Today I´m going to teach you an amazing millennial knowledge of my
Polynesian ancestors:
Wayfinding navigation. Back in the days there were no modern
instruments like: A GPS, Google maps and a compass. They used birds,
waves/currents, the position of the sun & the moon, wind and stars.
Birds would help them by whatever direction they are going in is the
way to land . The currents direct them to land by the way that the
currents are moving going is the to land.
Matariki,
Matariki is a star cluster that also helps the navigators sailing. How you would recognise it? Look for a 9 stars cluster, a constellation.
Hi Martha I really like how you explained your learning and what they used to find their way.
