The Pacific islands were first settled by the Austronesian-speaking peoples, who originated from Southeast Asia around 3,500 years ago. They navigated vast ocean distances using advanced seafaring techniques, including outrigger canoes and celestial navigation. These early settlers gradually spread across the islands of Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia, establishing communities and cultivating crops like taro and yams. This remarkable migration was driven by factors such as the search for new resources, trade opportunities, and social expansion.
