  • KTOO’s Yvonne Krumrey’s interview with the Polynesian Voyaging Society on the Moananuiākea
    • A four-year voyage across the world starts in Juneau this month. The Polynesian Voyaging Society will take the Hōkūle‘a — a twin-hulled, wind-powered canoe carved 50 years ago and has embarked on 14 voyages since — over 40,000 miles around the globe. The journey is called Moananuiākea, and the crew’s goal is to learn about land stewardship and unity from Indigenous communities throughout the Pacific Ocean.
    • The Hōkūle‘a returns to Juneau from Yakutat on Saturday, June 10, and sets off on its long voyage on Thursday, June 15. The arrival will air live on KTOO 360TV starting at 3 p.m on Saturday and the departure will be broadcast at 2 pm. on Thursday.
