"In 1975, Hawaiian artist and historian Herb Kawainui Kane set out to challenge the notion that his ancient Polynesian ancestors had discovered and settled the Pacific islands by accident. He intended to design and construct a replica of a wa‘a kaulua, or double-hulled voyaging canoe, and sail it from Hawaii to Tahiti using only traditional navigational tools. Thus Hokule‘a was born."
