rubric
Identifies that Polynesian wayfinding is a CONTEMPORARY revitalized practice; Hokule'a launched in 1976; Mau Piailug taught Thompson; the practice continues today; the unit explicitly refuses the 'lost knowledge' framing
Hints
- Look at the Polynesian Voyaging Society materials.
- Hokule'a sailed worldwide 2014-2017.
Misconceptions to watch
- Saying YES (the unit explicitly refutes this)
- Saying 'partially lost' (the unit treats the practice as fully revitalized and current)
