Tupaia

In the year 1725 a Polynesian boy named Tupaia. Tupaia was a brave and skilled artist as well as a navigator.He was able to read off the stars for directions.His remarkable navigating skills were then discovered by a British explorer named Captain cook.As they explored the pacific oceans Tupaia died in Indonesia Batavia. And he was was not acknowledged for his skills as white people did not hold the trust for skin coloured people like Tupaia himself.So captain cook then had taken most of the credit.
