The Star Path

Created and Curated by Ken Holm

Tonga, around 1650. A rot is eating the taro gardens of Hakau'iki, and the island will go hungry unless someone brings back healthy shoots from Niuatoa, many nights away across open ocean. The navigator Tavake will sail there by the stars and the swells, in the great double canoe Fekau. And he has chosen you as his apprentice.
