- **Event Description**: Journey across the Pacific through the stars! Experience the Sāmoan Star Compass in Clark Planetarium’s dome and discover Oceanic wayfindingAbout this EventClark Planetarium and Samoan Integrated Learning Initiative present:Tōloa Rising: Navigating the Night SkyThe Sāmoan Star Compass will illuminate the dome of the Clark Planetarium—marking a historic return to ancestral skies, stories, and navigation. Guided by Sāmoanwayfinders Tuloutele Celeste Manuia Haʻo (Hōkūleʻa, apprentice navigator) and Fealofani Bruun (Samoan Voyaging Society, Captain), Tōloa Rising invites you to discover the basics of Oceanic wayfinding as we chart a celestial course from Utah to the heart of the Pacific—retracing pathways that unite our islands, cultures, and shared ancestral memory.Please note: there will be no late seating for this event. Please allow extra time for parking.Tuloutele Celeste Manuia Ha’o is a Hawaiian-Sāmoan wayfinder, educator, designer, and storyteller from Hilo, Hawaiʻi. She trained under the late Pwo Navigator Kālepa Baybayan and co-navigated Hōkūleʻa on a historic journey that fulfilled her grandfather’s prophecy—returning to their village of Faleapuna, Sāmoa, “by wayof sea and stars.”At 17, Celeste was named Tuloutele, the Taupou of Faleapuna. Instead of remaining in the village, her grandfather directed her to return to Hawaiʻi, learn all she could, and one day teach their people. That calling guides her work today—blending ancestral intelligence with bold innovation to design learning experiences that reconnect ʻōiwi communities with identity, language, and place.Fani Bruun is the current Tapena/Captain of Gaualofa, Samoa’s very own traditional va'atele (ocean voyaging canoe), and the first Samoan Woman to qualify as a yachtmaster. Dedicated to preserving Pasefika traditional navigation, she empowers Pacific communities through cultural education and voyaging.Fani is a Sue Taei Fellow; her project, Women, Va’a, and Whales, focuses on documenting whale lore in Samoan communities, practicing STEM activities and sharing her knowledge of voyaging to inspire the next generation of female leaders in ocean conservation and maritime skills.
