Developed by the Pacific American Foundation, this unit Mālama Kaho’olawe focuses on the island of Kaho‘olawe as a training site for ancient navigators. The island’s position in relationship to the rest of the Hawaiian archipelago allowed navigators to study the stars, the sunrise/sunset, the winds and ocean currents. The island is the piko (center) of the Hawaiian island chain and “the point of arrival and departure for canoes journeying to and from the southern islands” (Reeve, 1995).
