After voyaging more than 27,000 nautical miles, Hawaiʻiʻs iconic oceangoing canoe Hōkūleʻa arrives in the New York City, carrying the message of Mālama Honua – Caring for Island Earth. Amidst the towering skyscrapers of the Manhattan skyline, drums, oli, and hula rang throughout as Hōkūleʻa and her crew were welcomed by a mixture of Native American and Hawaiian ceremony and protocol.
