Fiji Museum’s Voyages: Stories of an Ocean People places maritime knowledge at the centre of Fijian history, from early Lapita navigation to iTaukei voyaging and later migrations. What stays with me is how differently the ocean appears when it is understood as a route rather than a barrier. On many maps, islands look isolated by huge areas of blue. For generations of Pacific navigators, that same water connected communities through knowledge of currents, stars, weather and vessels. Geography changes when you change the knowledge used to read it.
