| dc.description.abstract | As Pele and Hi'iaka danced in human form before Lohi'au on the hula platform at Ha'ena (Note 1), gods and mortal Hawaiians alike could look at the cliffs--Na Pali--running down the coast beyond Kalalau, and at headland after headland, each marking another narrow valley as the wet of the north changed to the dry of the west. Glancing below and east, Lohi'au and his companions could see the blues, whites, and greens of Ha'ena itself, for Ha'ena was fronted by reef and the many blues of the Pacific, by the white coral sand of Ke'e beach, and the green of coastal vegetation, taro, and the cover of the mountainous cliffs immediately beyond (Pl. 1). Lohi'au, his ancestors, and his descendents have lived at Ha'ena since perhaps before A.D. 1000 until our own time. Indeed, today some people of Halele'a District count their people back to and beyond the rule of the island. | |
