Polynesian Voyaging Society - Preserving Ancient Wayfinding Traditions #2020919 (License: Personal Use)

This logo represents the Polynesian Voyaging Society (PVS), a nonprofit organization founded in 1973 to research and perpetuate traditional Polynesian wayfinding techniques. Using star paths, ocean swells, bird behavior, and other natural signs, PVS crew members navigate double-hulled canoes like Hōkūpaʻa and Hikianalia across vast stretches of the Pacific without modern instruments. Their work bridges indigenous wisdom with contemporary education and environmental stewardship.
