The Polynesian Women Voyaging From Hawaii to Tahiti by Canoe
"The Polynesian Voyaging Society, based in Oahu, is a non-governmental organization dedicated to preserving the tradition of Polynesian voyaging. It played a crucial role in the revival of the ancient practice of wayfinding by supporting the construction and voyages of the Hōkūle'a canoe. The society has been a welcoming community for those passionate about navigation, regardless of gender, and has been instrumental in training a new generation of navigators, including women, to continue this sacred tradition." - Travel + Leisure Editors
