The Navigator’s Triangle on the north and Maui’s fish hook on the south. The Navigator’s Triangle is made of three stars &#039;&#039;Hawaiki&#039;&#039; (Deneb), &#039;&#039;Keoe&#039;&#039; (Vega), and &#039;&#039;Humu&#039;&#039; (Altair). (It is the same figure as the Summer Triangle for modern amateur astronomers.) These stars also represent the Polynesian triangle: Hawai’i (&#039;&#039;Hawaiki&#039;&#039;), Rapanui (&#039;&#039;Keoe&#039;&#039;), and Aotearoa (&#039;&#039;Humu&#039;&#039;). These three islands are pulled by the fish hook of Maui (Scorpius).<br /> <br /> The northern pointer is found in the Navigator’s Triangle when you connect &#039;&#039;Wainielela&#039;&#039; (ε Cyg, Aljanah (Gienah)) and &#039;&#039;Hawaiki&#039;&#039; (Deneb). Southern pointers are in the fish hook when you connect &#039;&#039;Mili’opu&#039;&#039; (δ Sco, Dschubba) and &#039;&#039;Kahe&#039;&#039; (π Sco, Fang), the stars on the top of the hook.&lt;ref&gt;Mau Piailug of Satawal in Stellarium; printed in appendix of Hoffmann and Wolfschmidt (eds.): &#039;&#039;Astronomy in Culture – Cultures of Astronomy.&#039;&#039; Featuring the Proceedings of the Splinter Meeting in the Annual Meeting of the German Astronomical Society, Sept. 14-16, 2021., Reihe: Nuncius Hamburgensis 57, tredition, Hamburg &amp; OpenScienceTechnology Berlin (cBook)&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Mythology==<br /> <br /> <br /> == Weblinks ==<br /> <br /> * [https://hokulea.com/|Polynesian Voyaging Society]<br /> *[https://archive.hokulea.com/ike/hookele/hawaiian_star_lines.html|Hawaiian Star Lines and Names for Stars]<br /> <br /> <br /> == Reference ==<br /> * [[References|References (general)]]<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:Hawaiian]] [[Category:Polynesian]] [[Category:Oceania]] [[Category:Asterism]] [[Category:Rubric]] [[Category:Navigation Asterism]] [[Category:Seasonal Constellation Group]] [[Category:Leo]] [[Category:Lyr]] [[Category:Aql]] [[Category:Sco]] [[Category:Cyg]]</div>
