INTRODUCTION
This is about Polynesian navigates. Hope You Enjoy!!! :)
To Navigate they used:
On the canoes they used a group of things that were available at different times to keep track of where they where or where they where going.
They mainly used :
The sun
The moon
The stars
The ocean currents
The clouds
During the voigering period successful gurnes depended on:
Well built canoes. This is a crucial thing that you have to have to even try
The skill of navergaters. This is also really important because they make sure where they’re going is safe and what its like Ect
Weather. This is the biggest one. Successful journeys rely mainly on weather because bad weather makes bad trip. Most canoes can handle just below average weather but they all have their weak points.
Vogeries relied on ...
Wa’a Kaulua - Double-Hulled canoes, powered by sales and steadied by a single, large oor, the Double-Hulled canoes are really win, win. Vogeries need to have Double-Hulled canoes because they are more stable and glide through the water swiftly.
Experienced Navigates - Experienced Navigates is one of the most important things to have. Not only do the navigators see where they are going they also can see the swells forming and then could tell if a storm or something else was coming. Canoe Building:
Canoe Building:
Canoe building involved the hole community from navergaters to hula dancers. It was a big event and lots of people helped in one way or another.
How to identify something:
How they do it:
The sun
The suns position indicated east and west and created low light on the ocean that made it possible to see swells.
Canoes
By day navigators could identify direction by the rocking of the canoe caused by the swells.
Island Interactions:
Some of the top island interactions are:
Flight bird patterns are an easy indication of where islands are.
Floating debris also can indicate where an island is .
Types of fish in the area indicate where the island is for each area has a few different types of fish.
