The master navigators who crossed 2,500 miles of open Pacific using only stars, swells, and bird flight to settle the most isolated archipelago on earth, the Native Hawaiians — the Kānaka Maoli — built one of the most magnificent, ecologically sophisticated, and spiritually profound Polynesian civilizations in all of the Pacific. Native Hawaiians produced a legacy of navigational genius and cultural renaissance — their hula, oli chant, and kapa cloth traditions surviving decades of missionary suppression to explode in the Hawaiian Cultural Renaissance of the 1970s with a vitality that shocked the world, their voyaging canoe Hōkūleʻa completing a round-the-world Polynesian navigation voyage using only traditional wayfinding in one of the most celebrated feats of Indigenous cultural revival in all of modern history, and their sovereignty movement — asserting the illegal overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom in 1893 — making Native Hawaiians one of the most culturally resurgent peoples in the entire American heritage. This interactive sweatshirt connects you to that remarkable legacy with a QR code linking to the full story.
