Given that we are truly a global group, some may be interested in theories
and evidence regarding ancient Polynesian voyaging and their possible early
contact with the West Coast of North and South America.
I am hardly an expert, but I recall hearing mention of evidence of early
Polynesian contact in British Columbia. Those interested might find more at:

and/or some--for example, those who have considered a recreation of Prince
Henry's voyage--may be interested in the current effort to recreate a voyage
from Hawaii to Rapa Nui:

And for those seeking a Sinclair link in this, the Captain Francis Sinclair
family history, living first among the Maori in New Zealand and then among
the Hawaiians on Niihau, is always fascinating.
