Polynesians used various equipment to navigate the vast Pacific Ocean, including stars, the sun, moon, waves, currents, and the flight patterns of birds. They also used navigational tools like the kamal and the Marshall Islands stick chart to help them find their way between islands. Their extensive knowledge of natural world cues enabled them to successfully voyage across long distances with remarkable accuracy.

More evidence is surfacing to suggest that the lapita people were a different race than the Polynesians, infact there is little to suggest they were the polynesians ancestors. So they couldn't have created an empire, the lapita were around at a different time than the Polynesians.
