Wow! What an amazing visit we had at the Marine Education Training Center! We were able to see, touch and really experience the Hokule’a, Hokualaka’i and Makali’i. Because Hawai’iloa is undergoing repairs we weren’t able to see all of her, but we did get to see and feel her manu, which is being worked on at the METC.
The wonderful crew members welcomed us and shared their mana’o. And then we were greeted by a very special visitor! Nainoa Thompson shared his mana’o and answered your questions. What a morning! What did you learn? What did you learn that you think is really important? Why? Why do you think this was an important field trip for us? What do you wonder about?

I think Hokule’a probaly needs navagators if they are going around the world.They would need lots of food and teamwork.

the Hawaiian voigeing canoes are inportant becouse they used it to find other ways to navagate besides using a conpus.
