"Papa Mau," as he was known, earned a place in history as the navigator of the first voyage of the sailing canoe Hokulea from Hawai‘i to Tahiti, a journey undertaken with no modern navigational equipment whatsoever. But his role in the Polynesian Voyaging Society and in the larger movement it represented was much greater than that.
"Papa Mau" was a living link to ancient traditions, and he generously shared his wisdom with a new generation looking to reclaim their identity by following the paths of their ancestors. His life was proof that one man, in ways large and small, can help set a course for those who follow.
