Cultures & Community > Countries and Cultures
This webring is web sites about Polynesia, especially the islands of the South Pacific. Hence it extends as far as the great family of Polynesian languages ranges, – from Madagascar off Africa in the west to the Easter Island off Chile in the east, – and from New Zealand in the south to Hawai`i in the north, – reached by the skills of Polynesian seafarers and shipbuilders. It embraces all aspects of Polynesian culture and history, in particular the Maritime History, such as Tonga's National Kalia Project. Its reconstruction constitutes an important national project in experimental archaeology, technology and art, craftsmanship and engineering!

ELIYAHU MOZIANI's Virtual Polynesian Home: Tonga
My Tongan Domain of this website – http://sail.to/Tonga – led me to look into Tonga' s Maritime History. It comes alive in the National Kalia Project, reconstructing the vessel which conquered the seas by the skills of Polynesian seafarers and shipbuilders, – reminding me of my own reconstruction of the two stone Tablets of the Law of the Torah of Moses from the Sinai.
