Description
This volume brings together a rich tapestry of Hawaiian myth and oral history, preserving the voices of native storytellers who first explained how the islands rose from the sea and how their people came to be. Compiled in the late nineteenth century by a dedicated collector and his native collaborators, the material was later carefully edited and translated for modern readers, offering an authentic glimpse into the cultural worldview of ancient Hawai‘i.
In its pages you will meet the primordial god Wakea, follow the dramatic birth of the islands, and walk through detailed genealogies that link chiefs to divine ancestors. The collection also includes vivid legends such as the daring exploits of Aukele—his battles, his journeys beyond the horizon, and the gifts he gains from confronting death—as well as the saga of Moikeha and the prophetic tales that shaped early Hawaiian society. Scholars and curious listeners alike will find a compelling foundation for understanding the myths that still echo across the Pacific today.
