Mau Piailug quotes:

If I have courage, it is because I have faith in the knowledge of my ancestors.

I have laid the stick that connects people together. Now it is up to you, your generation and the generations to come, to build upon that stick a bridge that will ensure the free sharing of information and teaching between the two peoples until the day we become united again as a single people, as we were once before; before men separated us with their imaginary political boundaries of today's Polynesia and Micronesia.

To be a navigator, you have to be fierce.

To navigate, you must be brave and you must remember.
