The following questions from schools about traditional Māori navigation are answered by Matt from Te Warewaka o Pōneke. Questions from Arahoe School 1. If the navigators had to navigate all the time, how could they survive with not sleeping at all? 2. When people were sailing in the ocean, how could they locate land? 3. When people were navigating what troubles did they have? 4. How were the rising and setting points of the stars and planets used as signposts? 5. How were the Sun and the waves used in navigation? Questions from Ponsonby School 1. Will the Matariki stars go away? 2. How far away is the closest Matariki star from Earth? 3. Were the stars of Matariki used for navigation? 4.
