Na Inoa Hoku is a definitive source of reference for anyone studying the use of astronomy in Polynesian voyaging as well as in ritual and calendrical practices throughout the Pacific.

| Synopsis: |
In 1975, Hawaiian scholars Rubellite Kawena Johnson and John Kaipo Mahelona published Na Inoa Hoku, a Catalogue of Hawaiian and Pacific Star Names. Though long out of print, Na Inoa Hoku is still widely regarded as a definitive source of reference for anyone interested in the use of astronomy in Polynesian voyaging or the nature and development of ritual and calendrical practices throughout the Pacific. // Working together with British archaeoastronomer Clive Ruggles, the authors have extensively revised and extended the catalogues and transformed the discussion of their wider context and significance, resulting in a much stronger focus upon the rich historical legacy of the Hawaiian Islands themselves. // This new edition of Na Inoa Hoku is completely overhauled, vastly expanded, and includes new translation of many key primary Hawaiian sources from the mid-nineteenth century onwards. |
