Description: Where did the Polynesians come from? Why did they leave their original homeland? How did they find their way across the open sea to unknown lands? Did they ever set foot on South American soil? These are just some of the questions anthropologist Robert C. Suggs deals with in this challenging culture history of the Polynesians whose accomplishments in the field of navigation rank with the greatest maritime achievements in human history.
