This final instalment of the 1993 series about Polynesia looks to the present, and the future. The episode documents the grave loss incurred by the introduction of Western peoples and their ideologies across Polynesia. Thankfully, the ocean pathways have allowed people to share skills and knowledge, as they set out to reclaim and revitalise their culture — like Māori kōhanga (pre-schools), later adopted in Hawai’i and by first generation Samoans in Aotearoa. Aquaculture in Hawai'i renews an ancient tradition for the future. A hope-filled final act looks at what may be to come for the family of Polynesian island nations.
