content: From accession history: "... Model of a Kapingamarangi voyaging canoe was the last piece by a local carver named Isiah Maruame. It was given to Erik Hagberg in 2011 to give to the Smithsonian. The donor, Erik Hauberg notes: "When I showed it to the men of the village [i.e. the Kapingamarangi village on Pohnpei], there was much discussion of the importance of the piece. The elders mentioned that this voyaging canoe design has all but disappeared. Since the days of inter-island voyaging by canoe have past, the men are now favoring a smaller asymmetrical design based on the Nukuoroan canoe which is faster."' Last piece made by Isian Maruame (see Accession History p. 18/18).
