Polynesians and their intelligent ways

The main stereo type for many Polynesians are that they are lazy and just sit around on their island of paradise and relax.  But I bet that many were intrigued by how intelligent and hard working Polynesians actually are and were.  I know for a fact that a lazy and dumb person could not make an efficient and strong double-hulled canoe that would be able to sail for island to island, not to mention that they did it consistently and on purpose.  Not like how many of the discoverers were by finding many of the places they found by sure luck, with no sense of direction.  The Polynesians were able to use the stars and directions of wind in order to find the places that they wanted to go, that just goes to show people how smart they were to integrate astronomy and wind patterns to find the places that they needed to get too.  Polynesians also made some of the most advanced canoes that were way more efficient and used for quick sailing rather than putting together a huge boat.  Even though they made some big double-hulled canoes that would reach up to even 100 feet in length, they were quick for traveling between islands.  They had the intelligence to construct such a huge vessel, yet make it efficient enough for quick travel, and not to mentions that they would travel with great speed.  The great speed also made the canoes very sufficient for battle because their vessels would be way to quick for the huge boats to counter them.  So the next time you hear someone stereo typing old polynesians about being lazy, you could just laugh because you now know the truth about them and how intelligent they actually were.
