Description
A treasured legend from the Pacific Islands tells the story of Maftu, a young boy who overcomes his fear of the sea to discover courage. After being branded a coward by his community, Maftu sets out alone in his canoe to conquer his fear and prove himself.
Along the way, he faces challenges that test his resourcefulness and determination. A storm, days on a desert island, and his own inner strength ultimately help him grow into a brave and courageous young man. This story has been passed down through generations, with its story still being shared around evening fires in Hikueru today.
