The "Kilo Hoku Experience" begins by sharing how Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders use the stars and elements of nature to guide their journeys.
It is thought that the voyages between Hawaii and the South Pacific occurred as early as 400 AD. The keenly developed ability to read the night sky helped early Polynesians navigate their way from island to island in the Pacific, and eventually to Hawaii.
