| | History of Mauritius - The Malays |
 | | From north to south, it included the island of Taiwan (Pekan, for the Nusantarian natives), the archipelago of Hawaii (from "Hava-iki" or "Little Java", to recollect the ancestral homeland of the Polynesian), and New Zealand (Aotearoa in Maori language). |
 | | The Indonesian voyaged the wide Pacific from Africa to Easter Island, from China to the coral seas of the south. |
