[04:32.35]THE POLYNESIAN CULTURAL CENTRE
[04:36.30]Some theme parks are not only amusing³ but also educational.
[04:42.25]Take the Polynesian Cultural Centre(PCC) in Hawaii for example.
[04:48.03]It not only shows visitors the Polynesian way of life
[04:53.17]but also protects their skills and culture for the future.
[04:58.34]Polynesia is the name given to many groups of small islands
[05:04.30]that are spread about the Pacific Ocean.
[05:08.43]The PCC is set in 42 acres⁴ of beautiful countryside
[05:14.59]where visitors can see seven different traditional Polynesian island villages.
[05:21.65]Villagers from many island communities
[05:26.01]come to show visitors their different customs⁵ and styles of dress.
[05:32.07]For example you can see different skills of the villagers.
[05:37.82]You can learn how they make clothes from bark
[05:42.18]and how they climb very tall trees with their bare feet
[05:47.74]or see what kind of wedding ceremonies they have.
[05:52.47]They also tell you about their social customs
[05:58.35]and show you their cooking methods and their dances.
[06:03.10]Their most important skill is boat-buiding,
[06:07.78]which allowed the islanders⁶ to explore all the islands
[06:12.82]in the Polynesian Triangle.
[06:16.48]We know that in their history they were sea travellers⁷
[06:22.04]moving from island to island.
[06:25.70]They were able to find their way using the smell of the wind,
[06:31.65]the movements of the fish and seaweed,and the height and direction of the waves.
[06:38.50]They were very clever sailors.
[06:42.44]Now they use those boat-building skills to make long boats
[06:48.01]and show the races and battles that they took part in long ago.
[06:54.25]All this helps keep the skills and technology of the island people alive
