Loved this.

At 18:32, “Te Nangkoto” is a Kiribati (Micronesia) word that means “The” (Te) “Cloud” (Nang) “Pointer” (Koto). While traditional navigation methods may have been lost in other Pacific island nations, almost every island in Kiribati still have traditional navigators whose knowledge is family owned and a highly guarded skill. They never share it with others even in their own islands. They only pass their skill and knowledge to their son or grandson who will then possess almost all that there is to know. At the time the old navigator passed away, this son or grandson will be deemed worthy of the title of “Te Tia Borau (The Master Navigator)”.

Anyone who wants to know more about pacific voyage. Look up Sonny Natanielu

32:13 that is Mau Pilaug the navigator from Micronesia, not Nainoa Thompson lol. Alot of false info in this video.

if my voyage is unknown I’d rather sail upwind. Easier to return or fall off to a new course..

What type if tree(s) were preferred for the main hulls of the ocean going boats? Did it depend on which island or was it one tree fits all?

The hibiscus Tiliaceus is used for making oars and also as wood for the floor. For masts, Hutu Barringtonia is used. For certain construction when the tree does not lend itself to it too much, in this case, the keel is composite. She is cut from Tournefortia argentea tahinu, Alphitonia toi and Nauclea forsteriana mara. They also use breadfruit wood for the shell.

Pretty cheap comment ay bro. Maybe you should do a better presentation with the material you supposedly read 🤔

Technically I see most kiribati chart that make more sense. You should aldo acknowledge the kiribati navigation traditional knowledge. The clouds, the mwaneaba, the cloud formation like word nangkoto, zenith or taubuki, nao makoro are all kiribati terms. There is no real polynesia navigation in ur presentation its all hearsay for the polynesia.

When you say one word from one island you are only going off what that island knows..you add in all the other words from each islands.

We don't need white/pink people to tell our stories we have our own people to do that for us.
