Polynesian Voyaging Society

For a unique look into the old Polynesian culture there is an excellent web site located at http://pvs.kcc.hawaii.edu/ created by the Polynesian Voyaging Society.

It has a history of the voyages and lore of the ancient Polynesians.  If you ever wondered how they headed across the Pacific Ocean and actually found their way without GPS, read here.  You will come to understand how complex their knowledge was and how little we 'know' about the world today.
