The central Pacific Ocean was colonized by some of the greatest Navigators of all time, the Polynesians. The Polynesian triangle is defined by Hawaii, New Zealand & Easter Island, and includes Samoa, Tonga, Tahiti & the Marquesas.
Originally contacted by Captain James Cook during his three voyages to the region and the location of the Mutiny on the Bounty, fascinating stories abound from the region. The origins and unique culture of the Polynesians will be described, including their customs, ceremonies, food, & materials. Finally, the dramatic effect of European & American contact & occupation on the population and culture of the Polynesians will be revealed.

We are emailing our members several times each month with notices of events. It is a fine line from informing our membership and sending too many emails. Hopefully we have reached the correct balance. Dave Haralson and I have been splitting the duties. It is a good idea to have two or more people emailing our membership in case one of us is hit by a bus on a Sister Cities trip.
We publish our schedules, info and photos on our Newsletter Blog - click: sarasotasistercities.com
