How Polynesians Settled the Pacific: A Conversation with Mark Eddowes
VACATION PACKAGE CONSULTATION CALL https://calendly.com/tbc-initial-consultation/30-minute-initial-consultation-call Where did Polynesians come from, and how did they settle some of the most remote islands on earth? In this special long-form interview, Carl sits down with archaeologist and Polynesian culture expert Mark Eddowes while sailing aboard the Aranui in French Polynesia. Together, they explore the origins of Polynesian people, ancient migration across the Pacific, traditional voyaging, island settlement, and the deeper history behind The Islands of Tahiti. This conversation is for anyone who wants to understand French Polynesia beyond the overwater bungalows and turquoise lagoons. We talk about the movement of people across Oceania, the importance of culture and oral history, the role of sacred sites and marae, and why the story of Polynesia is one of the most remarkable human journeys in world history. If you love Tahiti, French Polynesia, Pacific history, anthropology, archaeology, Aranui, or culturally rich travel, this is a conversation you will want to settle into.
