- The Lapita Voyage was a charitable project which began in the first week of November 2008, when 2 double canoes, based on the ancient Polynesian canoe form of the islands of Anuta and Tikopia, set out on a 4,000Nm voyage along the island chains of the Philippines, Indonesia, New Guinea to finally arrive in Anuta and Tikopia, two tiny, remote islands at the Eastern end of the Solomons, where the boats were donated to the islanders for future inter island voyaging. They followed the Lapita Pottery trail that archaeologists believe to be the route of the Polynesian migrations.
This video shows the final stage of the voyage on the double canoe 'Lapita Anuta' featuring her arrival on 16th March 2009 at the 1Nm long island of Anuta to an exuberant welcome by the island's population. 300 people live on Anuta and they own 70 traditional dug-out sailing canoes, which are still regularly used for fishing. A nearly 200 year old Anutan canoe is featured in the closing scenes of the video.
'Lapita Anuta' is now the island's Voyaging Canoe, so the people can travel independently to more distant islands. Her sistership Lapita Tikopia arrived in Tikopia on 15th March to a similar welcome.
This video was shot and edited by Hanneke Boon of James Wharram Designs, captain of 'Lapita Anuta'.
A 50 minute documentary of the whole Lapita Voyage can be watched here:

Love and appreciate you all the hard working team that involved in this project. Love to see our Tikopian and Anutan traditional canoe being modified and also revived. Hope the younger men now will learn how to make it but especially take good care of the Lapita Tikopia and Lapita Anuta. 🙏🙏💯❤❤

hi lima to my austronesian brothers and sisters , "keep the culture alive "
Fantastic! Everyone involved with this project should be applauded for acheiving this result. Thank you Hanneke for sharing these special moments with us. I will be playing this video back whenever I feel daunted by the build of my own Tiki 38. One day, in the not too distant future, I will be sailing those waters and visiting Anuta myself. Can't wait! Well done again to all involved in the Lapita Voyage.

Once on land the canoe must be covered in young coconut leaves to keep out the bad spirits so the canoe can continue on for another voyage. Thanx to traditional micronesian Navigator the tradition still lives on this very day in Micronesia.
Fanengaw Narruhn this are Solomon Islands Polynesian people..
God bless these people.
If you like this,,then you gonna like Bruce Parry- Anuta. :)

Does anybody know if there is a possibility of living with these people for a few months? :-)
Yes it is possible.
Lieve Hanneke:
Indrukwekkend, hartverwarmend en inspirerend.

This is wrong the Anuta people live in peace because they don't use such concepts like Money or Religion.
I'm Native American and have seen this before cultures destroyed be other from outside push their non sense on others.
these people live in a Real Resource Based Economy
+KamidakeRed You're right. I really wish I could have lived like they do, but wasn't lucky enough.

The Islanders actually banned western medicine because they believed it showed lack of faith in Christ. Every single islander is christian since 1916. LOL
Doug Lim please provide proof
Common knowledge, learn how to google and cross reference. THEY even mentioned it in the documentary right here......LOL!
The current social structure was established around ten generations ago, when the chief, Tearakura, his two brothers, and one brother-in-law, slew the remainder of the island's male population. These men, along with Tearakura's two sisters, were founders of the island's four kainanga, large descent groups that are sometimes described in English as 'clans'. Anglican missionaries arrived in 1916, and established a church, which plays an important part for Anutans, offering church services twice a day. During the 1990s, Anuta's advisors rejected western medicines on the island, arguing that it would indicate a lack of faith in the church.

Doug Lim you are aware I'm not attacking you right? I'm simply asking you to provide the link to the information. Since you're the one making the statement that I'm incorrect. I wouldn't want to add to any misunderstanding from wrong information
Where is this island situation.?
Solomon islands
Bruce Parry broth me here :)
@TrueGreatness73 you mean straight missionaries erased old culture & customs, right?
Religious conservatives, technically speaking...
It depends on the denomination..the anutans are mostly anglican,and the church of england more often than not does it's best to keep alive and even assimilate traditional practices..and trust me,the old ways were not always idyllic..
malo téhina polynésia
L'ultima enclave polinesiana
Great place to open a Four Seasons Resort
they talk and dance like the Kiribatese people of Micronesia.
mokadkad thier culture appears to be a mix of Micronesian and Polynesian kind of like Kapingamarangi....interesting how people wind up in such small communities and the most everyday things to them are but precious memories for other Islands who have since abandoned them to be more "modernized".
They are polynesians
