On this topic I suggest "We,the navigators" by David Lewis.

Thank you for the recommendation. There’s also the excellent movie Kon Tiki (2017) about the famous Norwegian team that replicated the “backwards” journey from South America to Polynesia following WWII.
"Hawaiki Rising" by Sam Low is also an excellent read.
I have just happened to read it. While I find the technical parts of navigation of Nainoa Thompson and Mau Piailug highly interesting, large parts of the book are concerned with Hawaiian or Polynesian identity. Would you have a suggestion for a much more technical oriented book on Polynesian (or Micronesian) navigation? Thanks!
