Bishop Museum's Traditions of the Pacific educational program, supported in part by Outrigger Reef on the Beach, will present a lecture on Huahine: Island of the Lost Canoe with Bishop Museum archaeologist Yosihiko Sinoto, Ph.D., and a field trip to the Worksite and Marine Education Center for the Friends of Hōkūle'a and Hawai'iloa.
The programs will be presented as follows:
TRADITIONS OF THE PACIFIC – Lecture - Huahine: Island of the Lost Canoe with Yosihiko Sinoto, Ph.D.
Lecture: Atherton Hälau; 6 to 8 p.m. , October 18, 2007
Admission: $5 and Free to Members
Flying over the 1,400-foot Moua Tapu on the remote Polynesian island of Huahine, dr. Yosihiko Sinoto saw the vague shadow of a straight line on a hill near this sacred mountain. Drd. Sinoto's discoveries, among the most remarkable archaeological discoveries in Polynesia, yielded the parts of an ocean-going canoe big enough to have sailed to Hawai'i and back.
Dr. Sinoto will discuss this and other uncovered secrets in this lecture. Artifacts from this site will also be on display. Free Hōkūle'a posters will be given to the first 50 attendees. -- www.bishopmuseum.org
