POLYNESIAN VOYAGING SOCIETY CURRENCY


March 2021

Inspired by my admiration for my ancestors, this banknote project features elements, icons, and symbols from the Polynesian Voyaging Society. On the 50 dollar bill the late Kalepa Babayan and Hikianalia are shown. On the 100 dollar bill is Nainoa Thompson and the Hokuleʻa. PVS has navigated its way (literally) to lead Hawaiians and teach the world how we got to our island home without any western tools.
