Watching "We, the Voyagers: Our Vaka". In my home island, Luzon (the Philippines), we call it "bangka". To learn wayfinding and seafaring in our sea of islands would be a great reason for me to go home after the pandemic.

During this time, our Pacific ancestors were observing the stars, ocean swells, winds, etc. and honing the technology and passing it down from one generation to the next. Science!
More interisland and intentional travel! The colonisers from Europe haven't reached this part of the world yet, while the Indigenous peoples of the Pacific have been undertaking the greatest exploration project back then.
As the intergenerational knowledge and technology improved, the fleets of waka finally reach Madagasikara, Hawai'i, and Aotearoa (also known as New Zealand). The European colonisers-explorers haven't reached the South Pacific yet.
