A large Hawaiian contingency has traveled far to be a part of today’s ceremony.
The Mālama Honua Worldwide Voyage will cover 47,000 nautical miles, 85 ports, and 26 countries and continue through 2017. The Hawaiian name for this journey, Mālama Honua, means “To Care for our Island Earth” and will take the canoes across Earth’s oceans to grow a global movement toward a more sustainable world. The Worldwide Voyage is being navigated by traditional wayfinding techniques, utilizing stars, waves, wind and birds as mapping points for direction. Training and education is a critical part of the voyage, which will culminate with our new generation of navigators who will take the helm in 2017 and guide Hōkūle‘a and Hikianalia back to Polynesia after circumnavigating the globe.
