Social Studies - Made in Taiwan

The main purpose of Nathan and Oscar’s trip was to find there true identities, search the pacific ocean, find similarities within the pacific ocean, search for answer/facts about ancestors or family history and find out who they are as a individual.

Some of the interesting discoveries that they came across on their journey were in Taiwan when they saw and heard what some of the traditional dances were similar to here in New Zealand.

Evidence that supports the theory that Polynesians originated from Asia.
Apparently years and years ago Polynesians originated from Taiwan but over the many years they began to move south and east. But now the Journal of Human genetics say that the Polynesians began to migrate many years earlier which means they weren't from Taiwan but from the mainland of southeast Asia.
From my point of view, I thought that it was a very educational and successful journey.It was filled with laughter, fun, facts and a lot of different experiences such as trying new foods, learning new dances and evening seeing bones from many years ago.
