Hōkūleʻa: The Proud Voyage Home

Also known as Hokulea: The Proud Voyage Home, Hokule'a: The Proud Voyage Home, Hokuleʻa: The Proud Voyage Home

This one hour program reviews the 2-year, 16,000 mile journey of the Polynesian Voyaging Society's double-hulled canoe Hōkūleʻa as it retraced the major migratory routes of the ancient Polynesians. The canoe and her crew visited Tonga, Sāmoa, Tahiti and New Zealand, and navigation was done without instruments. Elisa Yadao and Cliff Watson of KGMB cover the story of the nearly month long 2,800 mile sail back to Hawaii, and a look back at the voyage of rediscovery.
