内容記述 | This paper describes some of the basic information about navigational knowledge employed by the navigators of Satawal Island, in the Central Caroline Islands of Micronesia. Most navigational knowledge covers various aspects of natural and supernatural phenomenon, such as stars and constellations, waves, winds, sea currents, birds, fish and the like, and it functions, more precisely, as an operational and cognitive device for dead reckoning, spatial and temporal orientation, land-finding, and weather forecasting. Each information set stands more or less by itself, and comprises a sub-system that is further organized into a larger system. Some sub-systems are for practical use and are shared equally among the navigators, whereas others are somewhat esoteric and remain mostly as the secret knowledge of a few master navigators. The materials described in this paper concern (1) counting and memorizing stars (ftaaflizi), (2) partnership of stars (yidowumw), and (3) canoe orientation with reference to four stars (yamas). These three sub-systems of knowledge are based on the Carolinian sidereal compass (naang lit. "heaven or sky"). In this compass stars are arranged symmetrically around the circumference of a circle, according to their positions of rising and setting on the horizon, on which 32 positions are occupied by 15 selected stars. Originally, directional errors or discrepancy existed in this native compass, when compared with the magnetic compass, in terms of the actual position of stars, e.g., compass bearing. However, these errors (mostly less than 20 degrees) are compensated for technically and are perceived as relatively insignificant in actual navigation, since the compass enables the navigators to cognitively associate one star with its partner star (yidowumw system) and with a certain set of three stars with reference to four canoe parts (yamas system), without observing simultaneously stars at opposite directions or at three different directions. Thus, the Carolinian sidereal compass is regarded as culturally important in the sense that navigators must learn it as a basic curriculum and follow it in actual sailing, and because the compass functions as a prominent device for space perception. |
