Australian aboriginal elders perform a smoking ceremony to welcome members of the Polynesian Voyaging Society on the voyaging canoe Hōkūleʻa on its 47,000 nautical mile journey over four years to engage a global community in creating a healthy and sustainable planet in Sydney on May 19, 2015. Hawaii’s Hōkūleʻa sailed into Sydney Harbour as part of its worldwide conservation themed Malama Honua voyage, a voyage in which the 19 metre vessel sails using only wind power and is navigated using ancestral knowledge of star patterns, ocean movement and weather patterns.
