[Aztlan] Meso trade in Hawaii

[Lawrence Lo]

Hello,

Last year there were a bunch of articles about a theory that the Hawaiian
might have reached Southern California and taught the Chumash and
Gabrielinos who lived on the Santa Barbara islands how to build
Polynesian-style sewn-plank canoes which were different from those of
other groups in Southern California.

Some of the articles:

http://www.berkeley.edu/news/berkeleyan/2005/08/03_chumash.shtml
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2005/06/20/MNG9GDBBLG1.DTL&type=science

I found the evidence very interesting but it's hard to prove a theory with
only two pieces of evidence.

Cheers

LarrY
