The Polynesian Voyaging Society is an organization dedicated to the revival and practice of traditional Polynesian navigation and voyaging techniques. Founded in 1973 in Hawaii, the society aims to educate people about the rich maritime heritage of the Polynesian islands and to promote cultural preservation. One of its most notable projects is the construction and sailing of the double-hulled canoe, Hōkūleʻa. This vessel has traveled thousands of miles across the Pacific Ocean, demonstrating the advanced navigational skills of ancient Polynesians. The society also engages in educational programs and community outreach to inspire future generations.
