THE NAVIGATORS
Discover the secrets of the palu of Micronesia who have navigated their boats for 6,000 years using arcane navigation arts to cross thousands of miles of open ocean with no compasses or charts. Part adventure story, part traveler's tale, this video is also a serious scientific inquiry.
Mau Piailug lives on the small Caroline island of Satawal, and in his late seventies is the youngest of the few remaining fully initiated navigators.
On Satawal, the people have kept this heritage alive. But with increasing western influence, Mau fears that the next generation will not carry on their unique sea knowledge. (Duration 59 min). SW 0.5 lbs.
