Papa Mau: The Wayfinder documents the lasting legacy of Micronesian master navigator Mau Piailug, who revived the art of traditional voyaging and reawakened cultural pride throughout Polynesia.
Wow so glad I came across this video. Micronsian over here 🙋🏽♂️. May Master navigator Papa Mau rest in peace. Seems to me Papa Mau served his purpose in life. Not only as a husband, father, grandfather, or friend but as a master navigator who passed down his ancient seafaring knowledge to the Hawaiians and so forth. Polynesia, Melanesia, and Micronsia, we are all children of the pacific. Much love and respect 💙

Dr. Mau was not a boastful Micronesian, but a humble man who's desire was for the skill of ocean navigation to be kept alive by whoever desires to do so, and this was reflected in his gift to us all, regardless whether Micronesian, Melanesian, or Polynesian. I wish that there are more people like Mau within us in the Pacific. Many of us are selfish, and is reflected in these comments. This is not the spirit of Dr Mau. RIP Papa Mau.

None of the Hawaiian crew just the Hawaiian anthropologists. As a micronesian it was heart breaking. In the words of Mau "no matter what stick together". I think the same can be applied with all the "nesia" islands. Let's stick together for the future of our children.

I know what you're saying but as the uncle of a young Chuukese/Hawaiian niece, it's so sad that Mau had to pass this tradition to Hawaiians because his own people weren't interested enough to learn. I'm sure we'll pass this back to the rest of the Pacific nations. Where the missionaries took our language, they took the navigation from the Micronesians. His own son was reaching middle-age when Mau was finally able to give him all the lessons he needed to recognize him. Heartbreaking, to me.

Mau didn't care what clan or island he descended from.He only wished for Micronesian seafaring to remain intact the Polynesian renaissance gave him a purpose to do just that. Back then the tradition was already in decline.With it heavily safeguarded by those that keeps the knowledge sharing it was rare.And our own people wasn't that interested much.He had no choice but to teach the Polys and break ancient protocol of secrecy. I'm from the Marshall we had our own version of Mau Piailug who was known as Rikaki kapūnpet Korent Joel(Master navigator Korent Joel) much like Papa Mau he too shared our sacred knowledge to others in order to kee the tradition alive. They both acted in their own accord and broke our ancient laws.The men knew what backlash would come of it.It's at least they sacrificed their honor in order for our sacred navigation to remain alive.They made us native Micronesians come to realization of how special our culture is.That it's vital that we preserve it. I respect the old ways my Micronesian brother.But if they hadn't shared a dying knowledge...not just Micronesia but all of Pacifika wouldn't have this.

How we Marshallese do it? Same as other cousins in Micronesia.Our seafaring culture isn't that different from one other.In the ancient days we exchanged a lot of things this included seafaring.

Give me a source so I'd hunt that down to obliterate it's false history.If not then it's another Chuuk making things up as usual.

The best wood that was a commodity of Fiji to fellow Polynesian brothers is Vesi (Intsia Bijuga) Fijians made very long and repetitive voyages using Vesi for their double Hull canoe. Lacquer was applied to it which is the resin from Dakua tree (Agathis macrophylla) used to protect wood... Bury flaws and mend cracks. It increases waterproof property of the wood thus increasing buoyancy and reducing drag. Same resin was used to glaze pottery so it is waterproof.

Just for anyone who is curious, Polynesians, Micronesians, Melanesians, various cultures in Maritime Southeast Asia and even people in Madagascar are collectively known as Austronesians, and they all are the descendants of an ancient seafaring culture (believed to originate in Taiwan, based on linguistic, cultural, genetic and archeological data). They all speak similar languages, have similar cultures, foods, and navigational knowledge. Mau Piailug may not have been Polynesian, but the navigational knowledge he had came from the same ancestors he shares with Polynesians. So he was still reintroducing Polynesians to their ancestral knowledge.

So, in essence the Micronesians are the real wayfinder because they retained it and is still the part of the culture in Micronesia while the Polynesians have lost it.

Polynesians and Micronesians are basically the same people. Both descended from voyagers who migrated from SE Asia .

What the fuck? Micronesians never taught Polynesians the art of Way finding you stupid fucks! My Samoan Forefathers were some of the Greatest Master Navigators up until the recent arrival of Captain James Cook and Christianity.. The art of Navigation is an ancient art and was was known all throughout Samoa way back, long before Papa Mau was born! We Samoans built some of the largest Double Hulled Canoes for long distance voyaging and we mapped out most of the Pacific.. Look up our Massive Double Hulled Samoan Canoes like the ALIA and the VA’ATELE! Micronesians don’t even have boats as big as ours lol.. That’s Why our Island of Samoa was once known as “NAVIGATOR ISLE” to the early European Explorers like Captain James Cook, because they were astonished at the sailing technology they witnessed in Samoa! That’s a True Fact! Learn The Facts before spewing Bullshit!

kzitem.info/news/bejne/mn98np55haqqdHY 35:11 “The thing about culture, is that a people who have lost their past, become a lost people. In complete acceptance of the modern culture, they should not lose the cultural past that has given them the guidance that has made them successful. And without that past, we are simply rudderless.” So true. Whether Polynesian, African, Asian, European.... So true.

It would be better if you put Mau as the thumbnail. Because it seems like THAT guy in the thumbnail is “Papa Mau: the Wayfinder”. You know. For people who don’t know him.

The absolute sad thing about this Vid, Mau, wanted for his people to learn not only reading the consolation system but reading the waves and the ocean. Not to mention how to actually build the vessels (canoe).. Lost knowledge due to either modern world or as Mau said, plain laziness. Such kind and gentle soul he was. RIP MAU!!!

@@sirjuju4766 It’s no secret Hawaiians hate Micronesians still evident today.Many distort Master Mau’s speeches and sayings to fit their lies while throwing dirt at his people. We didn’t lost anything.Navigation isn’t lost here that’s the biggest misconception.And Mau wasn’t certainly the “last” or “dying” navigator.Handful of canoe builders and navigators left in Micronesia.Being inspired by Mau they’re more open to share sacred knowledge to the next generations.I’m writing a book to preserve the tradition. Wasn’t Micronesian fault that cause you Polys to lose such a vital part of pacific culture.The white man did that.

You want to keep the traditional knowledge alive? Build canoes and sail them! If all you can afford is a 12-footer inside the lagoon, do it! If you have a powerful spirit and an ability to shepherd big projects, build a 60-footer and teach the keiki how to sail and navigate. If it's someone else's children who take up the knowledge instead of yours, applaud them! Have mana'o maika'i, huki imua, and it will achieve the bigger goal. God watches over all seafarers, no matter what their race, With Warm Aloha, a Hawaiian canoe builder

It is beyond me how Micros and Polys in the comment section are arguing about the same old pointless argument: who did it first, who was better, et cetera et cetera. Our ancestors all came from the same area a long time ago and were all navigators and settlers at some point. I bet even the white people knew how to do that shit without compasses once. Tata Mau would be very disappointed in you people tsk tsk tsk
