Summary:

The authors deploy the term "The Rashomon Effect" to refer to the present controversy surrounding Mauna Kea and conflicting interpretations about what it is. They offer the double-hulled canoe of Polynesia as a metaphorical method for resolving conflicts in difficult and challenging circumstances. They conclude that we need the navigational technique from canoe voyaging called "shunting" to integrate the conflicting perspectives.
