Description
Chronicles the historic journey of the Polynesian voyaging canoe, Hawai'iloa, as it sailed from Seattle, Washington to Juneau, Alaska in the summer of 1995. The voyage was a true homecoming for the Hawai'iloa. Its twin hulls were carved from 400-year-old spruce trees donated by the Tlingit, Haida and Tsimshian nations of Canada and Alaska and by the Sealaska Corporation. The passage of the canoe through the native villages of the Northwest Inside Passage united thousands of indigenous peoples in an unprecedented celebration of their heritage and culture.
