It is all about a waka travelling along the ocean. It also took ten months to travel and the crew used traditional navigation methods all the way. Polynesian people whose ancestors voyaged eastwards from their homeland about 3000 years ago. Rapanui is a very small island and it sits alone in the ocean.

There are different names for this homeland but the common name is Hawaiki. They remember Hawaiki as a place of heroes. These islands were settled about 2000 years ago years ago. While travelling they only got a little sleep. The canoes were over 22 meters in length. Strong crossbeams joined the two hulls. The wind and the sea are very powerful, so the canoes had to be as strong as possible. No knew why the Polynesians started voyaging. Somewhere may have been seeking mana.
