Hawaiki Rising

“The vision of Hōkūle´a was conceived in 1973, so the publishing of this book marks the 40th anniversary of her creation. Sam Low, the author, has sailed with us on three voyages, written numerous articles and now, after ten years of work, has finished Hawaiki Rising. This book is an important part of our `ōlelo, our history, and it contains the mana of all those who helped create and sail Hōkūle´a.” Nainoa Thompson
