To read a synopsis and the foreword by Nainoa, go to Sam’s Hawaiki Rising web page. See the April 25 post for pre-publication reviews.

About the Author: Sam Low served in the U.S. Navy in the Pacific from 1964 to 1966 and earned a Ph.D. degree from Harvard (in anthropology) in 1975. In 1983, after traveling throughout Polynesia, Sam produced his award winning film, The Navigators – Pathfinders of the Pacific, which told the story of the Polynesian settlement of the Pacific on PBS nationally and internationally on television venues throughout the world. He has sailed aboard Hokule’a on three voyages, from 1999 to 2007, and is the author of many articles on the canoe and her meaning to Polynesians.
