Mission and programs · 2025
Mission
TO FOSTER WORLD PEACE, CULTURAL RESEARCH, AND DOCUMENT TRADITIONAL INITIATIVES OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES AND EDUCATION IN ANCIENT KNOWLEDGE OF VOYAGING AND HEALTH PRACTICES OF MARITIME CULTURES.
-
All aims were met by the end of year 2 of the Gerda Henkel Stiftung grant program led by Pacific Traditions Society (PTS) and co-led by Holau Vaka Taumako Association (HVTA) of Solomon Islands and Pasana Group (PG) of Papua New Guinea. During 2025 both HVTA and PG completed construction of an ancient design of deep-sea vessel for their voyaging schools, and the process was documented on video. GHS added 25,000.EU to their total grant to meet rising costs of transport and communications, and a supplementary grant by Full Circle met 140,000. USD in costs not covered by the GHS grant. The opening of the Taumako Traditional Culture and Voyaging School was celebrated by the community of HVTA, the leaders of PG and PTS, and other international voyaging school leaders including Mario Benito of Inowon of Polowat, Federated States of Micronesia, Sanakoli John of Pasana Group of Basilaki Island, Papua New Guinea, and Setareki Ledua of Drua Sailing Experience of Fulaga, Fiji, and Pacific Traditions Society staff and supporters Marianne George, Kyle McDonald and Thomas Polacheck. Solomon Islander leaders included the Bishop of Temotu and his party, including a Chief from Tuo Village, Fenualoa Island, Reef Islands. In December, 2025 PTS, Inowon and DSE submitted a proposal to GHS for a grant that would support meeting the same aims during 2026-2028. In May, 2025 HVTA began video documentation of breadfruit fermentation pits and other food security methods by Taumakans, funded by the Endangered Material Knowledge Programme of the British Museum. Throughout 2025 PTS helped HVTA and PG build their own organisational capacities to communicate externally and to administer and seek their own grants and funding sources. During 2025 M. George and H. Wyeth made presentations about PTS, HVTA, and PG projects in California, Australia, London, Hawaiian Islands, Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea Saipan, Fiji, and online.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
