With the goal to inspire change and bring awareness to environmental issues, the Hokulea sets sail on its four year journey around the Pacific.
Crew members from the Polynesian Voyaging Society are embarking on a new and major journey throughout the Pacific Ocean. Their mission? To ignite a movement, and build an educational campaign, bringing urgent awareness to caring for mother earth. ICT’s Aliyah Chavez has the story of this extraordinary mission, with help from videographer Gabe Strong. ICT will bring you coverage of Hokulea’s journey over the next four years. You can also track the progress of this voyage in real time online at Hokulea.com
Aliyah Chavez, Kewa Pueblo, is the anchor of the ICT Newscast. On Twitter: @aliyahjchavez.
