The same question drives both the plot Moana and decades of archaeological research: Why, after centuries of settlement, did Polynesian sailors suddenly start establishing islands thousands of kilometers across the Pacific?
The latest Moana movie is an adaptation of the Disney video of the same name. Although these films are fictional, they are inspired by the rich heritage of the Polynesian seafaring people, whose ancestors carried out one of the greatest seafaring adventures in human history.
