	Polynesia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The area from the Hawaiian Islands in the north, to Easter Island in the east and to New Zealand in the south was all settled by Polynesians.
		It is probable that the Polynesian navigators employed a whole range of techniques including use of the stars, the movement of ocean currents and wave patterns, the air and sea interference patterns caused by islands and atolls, the flight of birds, the winds and the weather (Gatty 1999).
		Thus Polynesian navigators would have then been able to sail toward the star they knew to be over their destination, and as it moved westward with time they would then set their course by the succeeding star which would have then moved over the target island (Gatty 1999).

	Polynesia - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		Polynesian languages are all members of the family of Oceanic languages, a sub-branch of the Austronesian language family.
		It is surmised that the Polynesians imagined the heavens as the interior of a dome where a star proceeded along a path which passed over certain islands.
		Thus Polynesian navigators would have then been able to sail toward the star they knew to be over their destination, and as it moved westward with time they would then set their course by the succeeding star which would have then moved over the target island.

	08.03.2005 - Scholars swim in choppy waters
		Polynesian seafarers, equipped with sophisticated boats and navigational skills, may have braved the trade winds in their quest to colonize the Pacific during the first millennium.
		In fact, she held Hudson in the highest esteem, and never let go of the idea — despite her doubts that any Chumashan borrowings from the Polynesian could have survived long enough to be recorded by a modern linguist.
		Klar, meanwhile, had built what she felt was a persuasive case that the Chumash word for "sewn-plank canoe," tomolo'o, derived from the Polynesian word tumuRaa'au, which describes wood in the boats used by Oceanic explorers.

	No Right Turn
		This list does not look like New Zealand; instead, it looks like the same old boy's club that National has always represented, with a few grudging concessions to the modern world.
		With this list, National has made it clear that they are not "a party for all New Zealanders"; instead they are just a niche interest group for rich old men.
		The effective list doesn't stick with me. Surely there should also be women, Maori, etc. standing in electorates who will win.

	Discovery - New Zealand in History
		Māori oral, or canoe tradition, tells us of Kupe, one of the great Polynesian navigators, who set sail from the mythical Māori homeland Hawaiiki in his waka (pirogue) "Matawhaorua".
		At approximately the same time as the arrival of the first Polynesians, the Moriori people, ancestors of the Māori, (sometimes known as "Tchakat Moriori") were thought to be settling in Rekohu off the coast of New Zealand, although it appears that this also is the subject of much debate by historians.

	List discussion --KAWAWAR (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		I have a paper coming out in the December 2002 issue of Oceanic Linguistics partly on this topic ("Potent roots and the origin of kava"), and partly as a result of the many responses received to my earlier enquiry on this list about the ritual use of ginger.
		The development of kava saw the abandonment of betelnut roughly at the modern Solomons/Vanuatu border.
		Kava was introduced into parts of Micronesia from Polynesia, and possibly into the few New Guinea areas where it is used from Micronesia (but maybe by Polynesians coming from Micronesia).
