In 1996, a new sort of gathering of Pacific waka people took place at Te
Huiteananui-a-Tangaroa, the New Zealand National Maritime Museum in
Auckland.

The occasion brought together traditional navigators, voyagers, builders,
sailors, academics and enthusiasts from Aotearoa New Zealand, the Island
nations of the Pacific and further afield in a series of lectures, panel
discussions and demonstrations on land and sea.

This was the 1996 Waka Moana Symposium & Festival, held under the auspices
of the UNESCO Vaka Moana programme for the Pacific.

Now there is an opportunity for those with an interest in Waka to purchase a
publication from the Museum.

'The Proceedings' of this Symposium are a testimony to the speakers and
mentors from the many seas of Pacific waka and navigation and voyaging, who
gave so much of their dedication, knowledge and wisdom.
