Description
Culturally, for Samoans and Pacific Islanders, the ocean (vasa) has served to unite the vast sea of islands, being at the centre of life and culture, known as a ‘blue highway’ of connectivity. Known as the heart of Polynesia, Samoa built and navigated large double hulled voyaging canoes to explore and settle a huge expanse of ocean from Samoa to Cook Islands, Tahiti, Aotearoa, Rapa Nui and Hawaii.
