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.

Jizana it is good see how you have built onto the ideas we had started as a class. You have given a brief summary of Tupaia as an introduction to the topic. "So captain cook then had taken most of the credit." Your last sentence certainly gives your reader the hint that all is not accurate in the historic events as reported by Cook at the time.
ReplyDeleteI am really keen to see how you explore and present your findings as your knowledge of Tupaia and reporting of historic events by groups and events continues.
