Honoring Ancient Ways: Six New Pwo Navigators Join the Tradition
The sacred echoes of the Pwo ceremony carry a profound weight. On July 30, 2026, in Niu Valley on Oʻahu, the Polynesian Voyaging Society welcomed six Hawaiʻi captains and navigators into the revered ranks of Pwo Navigators. This title, among the highest honors within the Weriyaeng School of Navigation, is a deep commitment to ancestral knowledge. The induction, led by master navigators from Satawal, Micronesia, connects our islands to a vast Pacific heritage. It is a vibrant, living tradition, and we are inspired by their dedication.

Searching for a Lost Treasure: Help Find a Sentimental Ring at Poʻipū
Somewhere between the tide's reach and the sand, a story changed on the evening of August 11. A traveler's sentimental ring slipped away at Poʻipū Beach, right along the waterline near the turtles. It's the kind of loss that isn't just about the object, but the memory woven into it. We're sharing this plea because community matters here. If you have a metal detector that braves wet sand or shallow water, or you know someone on Kauaʻi who does lost-ring recovery, reach out to the original poster. Time is the real current to beat. For more on how this island pulls together, our piece "Kauaʻi Rises: Embracing Recovery and Resilience Post-Hurricane Lowell" captures that same spirit. Let's help bring this one home.
