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.
