              Polynesian and Micronesian navigation for Anthropology 112
              29-1-03 · File · 1950
              Part of Wilson Duff fonds

              This research paper, drafted by Duff as a student in Anthropology 112, discusses the oceanic navigation practices of the peoples of Polynesia and Micronesia. The text focuses on the use of astronomical knowledge and weather forecasting, as well as the teaching and practice of trans-oceanic navigation. The text speaks about these practices in the past tense, as if they had been forgotten, and also frames spiritual practices as 'magic'. Sketches include depictions of swell patterns as well as Marshallese and Western (the latter noted as 'accurate') island charts.
