    Admiral Lisa, of course! The DEI hired woman ruining, I mean running the whole show! Every single thing is run by women today, everything. Of course they are all there because they are the absolute best, most qualified person I’m so sure. If WW3 breaks out and women aren’t in the draft, it’s absolutely WRONG! Equal rights means right to die in the draft. Women don’t have kids anymore they only abort them, so they don’t even have an excuse anymore. I can’t even take this seriously anymore, it’s all political.

    We know they made contact along the S America continents coast.. the cultures there whilst possibly sophisticated may not have been compatible with their goals and explorer traders spirit. Consider what we know about some of those Cultures and the conflicts between them it may have been a case for turning away and leaving them to their own conflicts and not leading them back to their home islands..

    I remember hearing that when Hokule'a and Hawaiiloa canoes came to British Columbia to receive the gift of a tree to build Hiki Ana Lia canoe, the Hawaiians and the Natives of the island they visited did "protocol" and part of protocol is that you recite your geneology until you get to a common ancestor. This they did. They don't make a big deal out of it-they just do it. That I think was in 1995. I will never forget the sight of Hokule'a sailing underneath the Golden Gate Bridge. Hikianali'a sailed from O'ahu to Half Moon Bay and Sausalito and we got to board her, meet the crew & see how they lived under sail.

    It might be helpful in the longer run to not phrase things in terms of “the First People” and simply refer to them as “People”. In other words, the history of Rapa Nui, Easter Island, is a human history. It represents a lesson, a universal one for humanity. On a fundamental level, the Polynesians kept finding the same basic resources where they went such that no dependency on trade developed, in the meantime, the industry of building large voyaging canoes was an all encompassing communal activity, lots of labor in making the cordage as well as the wood components.

Since the death of Mau Pialug years ago there one less person who can teach the amazing old ways. Nainoa Thomson is still with us and I hope this knowledge is not lost. Most people think like “why spend decades learning the super complex and intricate ancient ways when I can just use GPS?” So sad.

    Amazing feats of navigation....and courage.... given that we see more and more evidence of man's seafaring ability in the far distant past it would appear that for eons the world's waters were highways rather than barriers - certainly true for the Pacific islanders.

  • @atrayser

    Absolutely amazing - I don’t know why other than ignorance, that it is not recognized that these people actually were the first people from the old world to find the new world by sea - way before Columbus and way before the Vikings - and at far far greater distances than any of them by far. Truly greater feats of navigation. this was proven recently by genetic studies showing that one person was taken back from the new world - so cool that genetics could prove something that archaeology would be extremely unlikely to - and even the very region of the Americas - which was not expected, if I remember right it was way far north from Easter Island - proving that these people for certain were skilled at navigation as they traveled there and back - waht is strange that once knowing this - they stayed away after that encounter - wisdom perhaps to know it would not probably end well -but will perhaps ne’er know. These people had made the longer trip a couple thousand miles - across far more challenging waters than the trans Atlantic voyages much later. Not sure I got this correct, but from memory it seems accurate. It is just mind boggling they could develop such skills so very long ago but as people in other parts of the earth thousands of years developed entire;y new foods - staple crops they actually created wiht nothing modern even comping close to such feats of ingenuity. thanks for posting this - it seems strange there are not more depiciotns of these voyages - tehy are breathtakingly fascinating.
