Jillian and Haley explore the misleading theories on Polynesian navigation and migration to the South Pacific with the Kon-Tiki Expedition, and talk about how it really happened with the story of the Hōkūle'a. Haley brings it all home with a Moana themed conservation corner with the Giant Manta Ray.
