The Polynesian Voyaging Society built and sails the voyaging canoe Hokule'a and carries the revived tradition of Polynesian wayfinding navigation, and its own published materials on the canoe and its methods are cited here. As the organization actually practicing and reviving this tradition, its own materials are the correct primary source for how the society itself describes and teaches wayfinding today. Its limit is that these are the organization's own self account rather than an independent scholarly study of the wayfinding revival's history or its relationship to precolonial Polynesian navigation, so a claim needing that outside historical assessment needs an academic source in addition to the society's own materials.
