Avana | Nā Moʻolelo Moananuiākea

Avana, Rarotonga, Cook Islands Avana is Hōkūleʻaʻs and Hikianaliaʻs safe harbor in Rarotonga, Cook Islands, where its voyaging tradition dates back centuries. Crew members visited a monument of stones, the first of which was brought from Hawaiʻi on Hōkūleʻaʻs maiden voyage to the Cook Islands in 1985. By 1992, more voyaging canoes were built in Polynesia and each brought a stone from their home. “If you take a stone from your land and you put it down on another land, youʻre connecting not only yourself, youʻre connecting your ʻāina to the ʻāina that you reach.” Tua Pittman, Pwo Navigator, Cook Islands Pwo Navigator Bruce Blankenfeld talks of arriving in the Cook Islands in 1985. He tells the story of the monument of 7 stones placed there 6 centuries ago, one for each voyaging canoe that departed for Aotearoa. “Just learning about that, seeing those stones and understanding that, it made voyaging a lot more tangible, a lot more real. For me it took it out of the realm of just a story and somewhat connection to our past and culture, to a direct connection.” Bruce Blankenfeld, Pwo Navigator, Hawaiʻi -- Nā Moʻolelo Moananuiākea shares stories, connections, culture, and voices of the communities Hōkūleʻa and Hikianalia visit during their 47 month, 43,000 nautical mile Moananuiākea Voyage.
