Hi my name is Julianna and This is about ancient Polynesian navigation. So how did Polynesians navigate? Well there were a few skills that were passed down from the best Polynesian navigators. There was no modern technology like GPS to help them. Instead they used things from nature to guide them.
The first sign from nature was Birds. Seabirds helped Polynesians find land because these types of birds had to fly away to find food. Then they would come back at night.
Clouds clouds helped Polynesian navigators because clouds move slowly when they pass over land.
Ocean swells Ocean swells help because you would know if there is an island ahead if the water is starting to push the opposite way it was before.
Stars Polynesian navigators used stars as a compass because they had to memorise the position of the stars.
When the Polynesians found an Island they probably celebrated and had a big feast.
Thats the end of my animation. I hope you learnt something and thanks for watching bye.
