Polynesian village found on Huahine Nui reshapes history
Archaeologist Yosiko Sinoto and team from Bernice Bishop Museum uncover a near intact ancient Polynesian village at Huahine Nui Hawaii. Artifacts include the first Polynesian voyaging canoe remnants 50 to 60 feet long, whalebone tools, and evidence of a sophisticated society with storage, crafts, and trade. The find challenges views on migration timing and social structure, linking early island navigation to later Polynesian civilization.
