Hōkūleʻa and her crew have spent the last month visiting Indigenous communities throughout the Alaskan Panhandle. The crew finally made their way across the Canadian border Tuesday, landing safely in Old Massett, the ancestral homeland of the Indigenous Haida people. The Indigenous Haida people of Haida Gwaii gathered for Hōkūleʻa crewmembers. Hōkūleʻa crew member Mahinalani Cavalieri was not yet born the last time a Polynesian voyaging canoe visited the Indigenous people of Craig, Alaska.
