Hōkūleʻa Honors Archbishop Tutu

Hōkūle'a Worldwide Voyage crewmembers and a delegation or educators, students and families from Hawai'i honored Nohel Peaee laureate and human rights activist Desmond Tutu, Archbishop Emeritus of Cape Town in a ceremony at the offices of his legacy foundation.

"We had a very intimate ceremony here, and it was a special time for us to celebrate the incredible work of Desmond Tutu by performing a song written in his honor," said Kalepa Baybayan, pwo navigator for Hōkūle'a. "That (Hōkūle'a is) ready to take the risks of sailing around the world is just amazing," said Archbishop Tutu. "It's uplifting to those who look at you, read about you and who see you."
