Long before European explorers sailed to Hawaii the natives of Hawaii
were already sailing the high seas. Not only did they have the knowledge of how to sail and navigate between the
Hawaian islands, but between other islands in the Pacific Ocean as far away as New Zealand as well. And they could
do this without the aid of compasses, maps, or the ability to write. These native islanders had a deep understanding
of the way the ocean currents and the stars moved and they used this knowledge to find their way across a vast
ocean. Come explore with us as we learn how they did it. |

About 500 years ago, the Navajo Nation moved from the Northwest
to the American Southwest. There they learned the art of rug weaving from the Pueblo Indians. The Navajo became
very good at weaving and developed it into an art of their own. The Navajo used geometrical shapes and designs
in their rugs. Geometry is the study of shapes, such as circles, triangles, and squares. These shapes can be found
on the rugs that they make. |
