July 3-7, 2006, at the University of the South Pacific,

Vaka Vuku: Navigating Knowledge
| 'Vaka'
translates as canoe in Polynesian. In an Oceanic mind, 'canoe'
connotes travel, visiting and taking gifts, connecting with other
clans and tribes, a means to a livelihood, and a part of a family.
Some Polynesian languages use the word wa'a or va'a. In Kiribati wā
is used. The word 'vuku' is from Fijian. As a noun, it refers
to wisdom, or a body of knowledge. As a person, it is someone who
knows. |
