Strange coincidence: I just happen to be watching the PBS Nova episode "Great Human Odyssey", which shows Mau student Kalepa Baybayan's planned 3-year circumnavigation on the Hokule'a using traditional navigation techniques.
I recently watched a NOVA documentary from last year that refutes the Eurocentric theories of Clovis origins.

Geneticists sequenced the DNA from a young boy's 13,000-year-old bones found in Montana. His DNA matches a specific combination of Eastern Asian and Siberian DNA that is found in all North and South American native populations, and only in these populations. This lends to the theory that the first people to permanently settle the America's (Clovis) were made up of groups from Siberia and Eastern Asia combining and crossing the Bering Strait.
