DESCRIPTION:The Pacific and Indian oceans share a little-known common herit
 age. Five thousand years ago\, people of the Pacific designed ocean-capabl
 e canoes\, and they set sail from a beach in Taiwan and settled on islands
  from Madagascar to Aotearoa (New Zealand) and Rapa Nui (Easter Island) to
  Hawaii. The descendants of these brave seafarers surpass 400 million peop
 le today.\n\nDuring a lecture and demonstration\, the artists and co-found
 ers of Small Island Big Song will share geographical and historical backgr
 ound about these great oceanic migrations. The musicians will showcase som
 e of the cultural similarities shared by their communities across these va
 st ocean expanses.\n\nThe University Honors Program is the event sponsor.\
 n\nSmall Island Big Song will join filmmakers\, oceanographers\, scientist
 s and artists at NC State for a slate of extraordinary events from April 8
 -12. This collective of Indigenous musicians comes from island nations in 
 the Pacific and Indian oceans — Taiwan\, Australia\, Papua New Guinea\, 
 Madagascar\, Mauritius and Easter Island (Chile) — where they are on the
  front lines of climate change. The week of events will come to a celebrat
 ory close when Small Island Big Song performs in Stewart Theatre on Friday
 \, April 12 at 7:30 p.m.
