Mānaiakalani is a constellation in Polynesian culture which translates to "The Chief's Fishline". It refers to the fishhook of demi-god Māui. Polynesian mythology tells of Māui pulling large fish from the ocean, representing the discovery of new islands. It is primarily made of Scorpius and the Navigator's Triangle.[1]
