The National Library of New Zealand is hoping to connect Pasifika youth to their Polynesian voyaging history with the launch of an interactive education programme in Wellington. As part of this, a four-metre long replica of a traditional double-hulled vaka has been created in partnership with the Victoria University of Design and Innovation. Tiana Haxton went along to the opening ceremony.
