We, the Navigators
We, the Navigators, The Ancient Art of Landfinding in the Pacific is a 1972 book by the British-born New Zealand doctor David Lewis, which explains the principles of Micronesian and Polynesian navigation through his experience of placing his boat under control of several traditional navigators on long ocean voyages. The title plays on We the Tikopia, a classic study by New Zealand anthropologist Raymond Firth of a tiny South Pacific island of that name, whose Polyesian inhabitants are gifted navigators.
