The Voyager Episode

After Will learns how to post on Instagram, we dive into a deep conversation about history and culture with Kauai Native Stephenie Brown. She has paddled in every channel in the Hawaiian Island chain and shares facts and stories about each channel. She tells us stories of her ancestors and about her involvement with the Hawaiian Outrigger Canoe Voyaging Society.  Stephenie has been paddling since she was a kid, and she has no plans on stopping anytime soon! 


Hawaiian Outrigger Canoe Voyaging Society Mission Statement:
The purpose of the Hawaiian Outrigger Canoe Voyaging Society is to perpetuate through education and experience the Hawaiian culture of traditional long-distance outrigger canoe voyaging throughout all the Hawaiian islands; to uphold the unique and fragile beauty and power of the ocean; to practice an obligation of responsible stewardship and harmony between man and nature; to strengthen cultural and spiritual connections to the Hawaiian islands; and to experience the harmony, strength, and respect that arises when men and women of all ages paddle a canoe towards a common goal.
