Wayfinding navigation

 Kia ora Bloggers! 

Today I am going to talk about great ancestors : the Polynesian navigators and how they lead the people on their waka.

Polynesian navigators were so impressive because they were smart and respectful to their peers and they found different ways to navigate and to find their way to different islands. They could also use the stars on a compass, it's called a star compass. They also use the sun to also track where they are. They also use the Matariki stars to navigate their way at night. Matariki is a big star cluster 


How far they'll go: Moana shows the power of Polynesian celestial navigation
