Micronesian Educator Vol. 17, 2013 Cover & TOC

A Journal of Research & Practice on Education in Guam and Micronesia

COVER Heiwa: Heiwa is the pushing of the canoe on the unfolded mat to demonstrate how a canoe will actually sail in the ocean from the departure island to the destination island. The navigator uses one or more stars or constellations and uses the faunan etak (primary reference island and possibly a fauan yatil (secondary reference island) in tracking the course.

Heiwa is also used to explain the feeling of the canoe's movement caused by the waves and swells hitting the canoe.
