Floor Presentations – H.R. No. 179 – Honoring the Polynesian
voyaging society on the 40th anniversary of the launch of
HŌKŪLE‘A.
On March 8, 1975, the Polynesian Voyaging Society
launched its first wa’a kaulua — Ho`kule’a from the sacred
shores of Hakipu’u in Kane’ohe Bay on the island of O’ahu; its
design was a replica based on oral traditions, sketches, and
petroglyphs of ancient canoes of the Pacific Islands.
Representatives Romy Cachola, Lynn Decoite, Lauren Matsumoto, Feki Pouha, Andria Tupola Gene Ward and Ryan Yamane are standing with members of the Society of the Ho`kule’a in the chamber of House of Representatives.
