| Description | Members of the Vaka Valo Association on Taumako island, one of the Solomon Islands in the Western Pacific, still build authentic canoes called Tepuke and Tealolili and sail them using ancient navigational methods. Voyaging in these traditional canoes was once popular in this remote part of the Santa Cruz island group, now part of Temotu Province. | ||
