Polynesia

We researched Polynesia, and this is from Sofia Alison.

First, we have our introduction.

Now Polynesian history dates back to 1612 100 b c

e. The Polynesians are often not notice for their amazing

discoveries, mainly being overshadowed by white men.

Throughout history, Polynesia has contributed many thanks to modern culture.

One example.

Being the totem pole, which also originated from this culture,

the very unique Polynesian culture has often been overshadowed and

neglected throughout history.

As stated before, however, this culture has had to come

back in the 20th and 21st century, helping to acknowledge

this interpret unique culture.

Next, we will be talking about the origins of Polynesia.

Polynesia dates back around 1600 to 1200 b.

C e.

A group of ancient people called the laptop migrated from

New Guinea to the Pacific islands of Fiji, Samoa and

Tonga the next roughly 1000 years, where, as little there

were the there was little exploration due to the lack

of resources and technology that they had.

Beginning of 300 B.

C E explores from Tonga and Somalia began to inhabit

the click islands, which consisted of it's a huge new

me tomatoes and her Eva further east after another period

without much expansion, Polynesians from previously discovered islands settle on

Easter Island and Hawaii between 300 B.

C. E and 400 p.

C e.

Here's some pictures of Easter Island, and the faces that

they made were done by Polynesians.

Next we will talk about Hawaii.

Hawaii is the northernmost Polynesian land that they settled on

most. It was the most plentiful island with resource is

that they had islands were never successful because of bad

soil. Food producing plants and animals were not great to

hunt. Who are you?

Was the first successful on to be found and used.

70% of Polynesians lived in Hawaii entering the 21st century.

Going to Hawaii was difficult task for the Polynesians, seeing

as it was the farthest they would have to travel

in the most difficult island to reach, They developed a

standing navigational skills, using little to no technology and basic

vehicles. During that time.

Here's some pictures of Hawaii.

Next, we're going to talk about the different Polynesian cultures.

Distinct cultures began to develop throughout the Polynesian islands throughout

time, however, these cultures still shared many cultural similarities nearly

all Polynesian societies encouraged a and I quote, close to

its sense of community.

They also emphasized kindness and relationships with each other.

The different cultures often worshiped the same main gods, but

there were obviously different gods that were part of the

different local cultures that buried from island to island as

well. Politician art was also a big part of culture.

Polynesian performance art is highly regarded and still very popular

today. The large stone faces on Easter Island and the

Marquesas are one example.

New Zealand, Hawaii and the Marcus is wood carvings.

Were dominant are pieces.

Common imagery for the totem pole originated from Polynesia.

As stated before, Here's some pictures of some different Polynesian

arts. We have different statues, totem pole and examples of

tattoos and designs.

Our hot topic question was, How did Polynesia affect our

modern day as a whole?

Now we had four higher order thinking questions, as required.

Our first one is Why do you think pollination people

moved to Hawaii and other islands instead of continents?

Our second one waas What are parts of Polynesian culture

that air still seen today, and how have they changed

and evolved to fit the modern culture.

Our third question was, Why were the Polynesian people isolated

from people of other cultures?

Explained. And our last one is, Why do you think

pollination art had and has such a big impact on

future generations and cultures?

This project was fun to dio.

We really liked making the presentation and learning about this

very unique Polynesian culture.
