  abstract: The Hawaiian people have a rich historical and cultural tradition. Their values, art, music, gods and legends reach back thousands of years to ancient Polynesia, where they lived before sailing to the islands we know as Hawai''i.

Miloli''i - a fishing village on the west coast of the big island of Hawai'i. There are about 17 families residing in this peaceful village, without electricity or running water. Their lifestyle has remained unchanged in many ways since the time of their ancestors.

The canoe has sailed the South Seas covering the trade and travel routes of the early Polynesians. The canoe's Hawaiian navigator is guiding the vessel without the use of a compass or other instruments. He has learned the ancient methods of wayfinding: reading the sun, stars and the ocean swells. Hokule'a has become a symbol of continuing tradition. It was the canoe that dispersed the Polynesian people…
