<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p>As the last reigning queen of the Kingdom of Hawaii, Queen
Liliuokalani was born Lydia Kamakaeha on September 2, 1838 to a high chief and chieftess.
When she became queen at the age of 60, she took on the name Liliuokalani.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As was common among Hawaiian royalty, Liliuokalani was
adopted at birth by Abner Paki and his wife, Laura Konia. She received an
education at the Chief’s Children’s School where she learned to speak English
fluently, and traveled Europe and America. This exposure to western art and
culture influenced much of the more than 160 songs that she composed in her
lifetime, many of which are still frequently played throughout the islands
today.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Queen Liliʻuokalani is remembered for her many musical
compositions, including the famous song Aloha ‘Oe (Farewell to Thee). Many of
these were written during her imprisonment after she abdicated her throne, and
they express a deep love of her land and people. Her compositions were compiled
into The Queen’s Songbook in 1999.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>"To compose was
as natural to me as to breathe; and this gift of nature, never having been
suffered to fall into disuse, remains a source of the greatest consolation to
this day."</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.hawaiiancollectiblemenehunedolls.com/10-art-doll-queen-liliuokalani" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGIr_XCH-YhXp6kXE83bMpUGDvYvh6FNPPzbsHc4wWON9PaKIbGf_J6YzgfPXmZ4Rcp-ViMCRgSu-eTlhyphenhyphenrdhdXEUHyOknec7gTOJsFJPq6dGbH8P3ZQf2pgaUDfV5PpgHh5rQgw46ePobu5SM8uGC7tjnl8RWNlblvJCc9ATw2I_v8fYaMZjFe3NWEQ/w300-h400/L%2013.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><br /><o:p></o:p><p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><b>Now and forever more, Amen</b></p>Hawaii’s Story by Hawaii’s Queen Liliuokalani Washington, D.C. Feb. 9, 1898 tells the story of her life, the overthrow of the monarchy, her attempts to reclaim it, and Hawaii during that time. It remains a key work in Hawaiian history. "I was a studious girl; and the acquisition of knowledge has been a passion with me during my whole life."<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In 1862 Liliuokalani married John Owen Dominis, who in time
became the governor of Oahu and Maui.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As the elder sister to King David Kalakaua, Liliuokalani
became the queen of the Kingdom of Hawaii upon the King’s death in 1891.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>A Fight for Hawaii’s Freedom<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One of Queen Liliuokalani’s main goals was to reestablish
the power and sovereignty of the monarchy that her brother had to give up.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When Liliuokalani inherited the throne, she took repealed
the Bayonet Constitution, which deprived the authority of the Hawaiian monarchy
and gave power to foreigners. She drafted a new constitution which would
restore the power to Hawaii.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a name="_Hlk82172519"><b>"Never cease to act because
you fear you may fail."<o:p></o:p></b></a></p>
<span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk82172519;"></span>
<p class="MsoNormal">In January 1895 Liliuokalani was arrested following the
failed Counter-Revolution in Hawaii. At her trial Liliuokalani denied any
knowledge of the revolution but was found guilty and sentenced to five years of
hard labor in prison and a fine. That sentence was later commuted to
imprisonment to an upstairs bedroom of Iolani Palace. Iolani Palace stands to
this day as the only royal residence on American soil.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In 1896, Liliuokalani was granted a full pardon by the now
annexed Republic of Hawaii. She resumed her attempts at appealing annexation
and traveled to the United States many times in the process. Despite her
efforts, Hawaii became a Territory of the United States in 1898 and in one last
push in 1910 Liliuokalani unsuccessfully sued the United States government for
the loss of the Hawaiian crown land.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">On January 16, 1893, United States troops invaded the
Hawaiian Kingdom without just cause, which led to a conditional surrender by
the Hawaiian Kingdom’s executive monarch, Her Majesty Queen Lili‘uokalani, the
following day. Liliʻuokalani believed in peaceful resistance. She did not want
the blood of Hawaiian people to be shed. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">"It was the intention of the officers of the government
to humiliate me by imprisoning me, but my spirit rose above that. I was a
martyr to the cause of my people, and was proud of it."<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Her conditional surrender read:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“I, Liliuokalani, by the grace of God and under the
constitution of the Hawaiian Kingdom, Queen, do hereby solemnly protest against
any and all acts done against myself and the constitutional Government of the
Hawaiian Kingdom by certain persons claiming to have established a provisional
government of and for this Kingdom….”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">"Love of country is deep-seated in the breast of every
Hawaiian, whatever his station. The cause of Hawaiian independence is larger
and dearer than the life of any man connected with it."<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">"I have pursued the path of peace and diplomatic
discussion, and not that of internal strife."<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The last queen of Hawaii lived in Washington Palace until
her death in 1917 as a private citizen.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Liliuokalani still remains an icon and much beloved by the
Hawaiian people. She was the first activist for Hawaiian culture and
sovereignty, a movement that still exists to this day. Her legacy also lives on
in the Queen Liliuokalani Trust Fund, which works to serve the children of
Hawaii.<o:p></o:p></p>

</p><p class="MsoNormal">In Hawaiian mythology Kanaloa is the god of the ocean and the ocean winds. He is one of the four major gods of Hawaii: Kane, Kanaloa, Ku and Lono. Kanaloa was strongly connected with Kane, the creator of all life. When the people in old Hawaiians built a canoe they would invoke Kane's blessing for the building and Kanaloa's for its sailing.</p><p>On their journeys together Kanaloa and Kane would share the sacred drink of 'Awa (drink of the gods). Striking the ground with their staffs they caused hidden springs of fresh water to burst forth.</p><p>Ki'is (statues) show Kanaloa wearing a headdress that touches the ground connecting the conscious and unconscious mind, integrating the upper and lower selves.</p><p>Statues of Kanaloa feature him with round eyes, unlike those of any other representations of the gods. According to a Kauai tradition, if you could look into the eye of Kanaloa you would see the symbol of Pono (goodness) and be healed. Kanaloa is a healer god.

Ku'ula-kai had great Mana (spiritual power) over the fish. This power allowed him to direct, control and influence all of the fish of the sea whenever he pleased. His Mana Kupua (supernatural power) empowered him to attract and multiply fish. <br />When he was in human form, he was devoted to catching fish for his Ohana (family). His big canoe was always filled it to the top. <br /><br />Ku‘ula lived with his wife Hina and their son ‘Ai‘ai in Hana on the island of Maui. There he created the first fish pond in Hawaii where he kept all kinds of fish. <br />Ku‘ula honored the Akuas (gods) by offering his first fish to a small Ko’a (fishing shrine). He always caught all the fish he needed and shared his catch with everybody in the village. <br /><br />To this day, locals honor Ku’ula’s teachings by preserving old and creating new fishing ponds. The concept of conserving and sharing the fish we catch enables the sustainability in our communities. <br /><br />Hawaiian Art Doll Kaimana (Ocean Power) was created in honor of Ku’ula, the Fish God. <br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Kaimana (Ocean Power), the Fisher Boy</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: 700;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-weight: bold;"><div style="text-align: center;">Birth Date: Kekemapa 1, 2023 (12-1-23)</div></span><div><b><br /></b><span style="font-weight: bold;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/1626049585/10-ooak-ocean-art-doll-kaimana-the?click_key=affee97d1b278b6a559f332f238ccd0822c6dadd%3A1626049585&click_sum=b4dfd57e&ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1&sts=1" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVdR7xZMrpUUogItVbL_izSsf1sgQDKyfSUNSpEtVLtPMctQx_nu9UEx7hK-9Hx5XARtdDRPDDUaV0O0-24e1d9HDyDzUJTSeMuU-ENDZMPK35z0rhlp-E8XOJORx2cXOrZoC8WNP9Gw0aFpkdpHbEna7xp6hg16zc1vc36hAHJgk-upzczy08qrS_kg/w300-h400/K%2014.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Kaimana teaches us to see with the heart and act with compassion.</div></span><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">He aloha ē ka iʻa lā</span></div><span style="font-weight: bold;"><div style="text-align: center;">ʻAi a ka ʻamaʻama</div></span><span style="font-weight: bold;"><div style="text-align: center;">ʻAi a ka iʻa lā</div></span><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="font-weight: bold;"><div style="text-align: center;">I love fish</div></span><span style="font-weight: bold;"><div style="text-align: center;">To eat mullet</div></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">To eat fish</span></div><br />Kaimana, the Fisher Boy, honors Ku’ula the Hawaiian Fish God. <br /><br />Carrying his scoop net to the gentle waters in the bays of Punalu’u Black Sands Beach, Kaimana gets ready to catch dinner for his Ohana (family) and himself.

He then humbly asks permission for just enough fish to come to his net so that he can feed himself and his Ohana. <br /><br />Kaimana has a balanced, harmonious relationship with nature. He knows that if he takes only what he needs, it will always be given freely. Kaimana never forgets to honor the Akuas (gods) by offering his first fish to the Ko’a (fishing shrine).

Here is one of her statements, which was published in newspapers across the nation: <br /><br />“Unbidden, I stand upon your shores today where I thought so soon to receive a royal welcome on my way to my own kingdom. I come unattended, except by the loving hearts that have come with me over the wintry seas. I hear that commissioners from my land have been for many days asking this great nation to take away my little vineyard. They speak no word to me, and leave me to find out as I can from the rumors of the air that they would leave me without a home, or a name, or a nation… <br /><br />Today, I, a poor, weak girl, with not one of my people near me, and all these Hawaiian statesmen against me, have strength to stand up for the rights of my people. Even now I can hear their wail in my heart and it gives me strength and courage and I am strong, strong in the faith of God, strong in the knowledge that I am right, strong in the strength of 70,000,000 people who in this free land will hear my cry, and will refuse to let their flag cause dishonor to mine.” <br /><br />Although Kaʻiulani was admired and respected by many of the American people, her pleas could not right the injustices that had occurred. Princess Kaʻiulani and Queen Liliʻuokalani boycotted the 1898 ceremony for the annexation of Hawaiʻi, and continued their work to ensure the rights of the Hawaiian people under the U.S. government. <br /><br />Princess Ka’iulani had a gift for influencing public opinions and using her personal experience to change the hearts of people who were in power and had the ability to make decisions. <br /><br />Hawaii’s Island Rose inspired the creation of Ka’iulani, the Guardian Angel.<div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/1538417202/10-hawaiian-treetopper-angel-ooak-art?click_key=7975b84bffdf6310d12d69a87d838b54fe04589b%3A1538417202&click_sum=0874b77c&ref=shop_home_feat_1&frs=1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBdoO_gNcWKnArYBDBpNPXjIRjObVD_e_9v0GtecSO2exdQbUNIHsL7zt5tFB0fQcnM1Kz687_AZM0G_U_mcCza4kdM8hKqYgUWBuuyduvE83URknZ_VGZ3BhLNtLNZXekbDQ9d-hmO2wP4WMluOXUxABvtTDmO2w1fuIww83uDjcyPokVQMOm7bDQaQ/w300-h400/K%2018.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>Ka’iulani graciously crowns any Christmas tree with her enchanting grace.

is believed that King Kamehameha was born in 1758, the year Halley’s comet
passed over Hawaii. His birth name was Paiʻea (Hard-Shelled Crab). The current
Ali’i (royalty) did not like the idea of losing power. That was why Pai’ea was
hidden from warring clans in secluded Waipiʻo Valley after birth. Later he was
renamed Kamehameha (The Lonely One) and trained as a warrior.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">His legendary strength was proven when he overturned the 3.5
ton Naha Stone in Hilo on the Big Island. Legend said that whoever had the Mana

Islands.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipl2UG-9kHpf6Vg2GRfG71fNZyjev9D2ASwbO2n4cF315ZzuLT-0iylYiEJjil05wV-rk1zBUR73aC_M8qV0DoGfiTLiDdx8OWFfCXZ1naeNzupo48al407RszX3-o2B0ktjy6B8UbuqKd73J7bKeH3zN61hFjFRIB6o_R6i83r5TP2T-cxlYGKhDuAg/s1125/Naha%20Stone.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1125" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipl2UG-9kHpf6Vg2GRfG71fNZyjev9D2ASwbO2n4cF315ZzuLT-0iylYiEJjil05wV-rk1zBUR73aC_M8qV0DoGfiTLiDdx8OWFfCXZ1naeNzupo48al407RszX3-o2B0ktjy6B8UbuqKd73J7bKeH3zN61hFjFRIB6o_R6i83r5TP2T-cxlYGKhDuAg/w320-h400/Naha%20Stone.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Today, the Naha Stone is located in front of the Hilo Public Library.</div><o:p></o:p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Destined for greatness from birth, King Kamehameha was known
as a great warrior, diplomat and leader. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">King Kamehameha had visions and the ability to achieve his
many goals with a focus on infrastructure and raising funds for weapons and
canoes to empower his forces. Even his marriages to about 30 wives, were
strategic moves to create alliances and increase his<br /></p>As a ruler he often needed to conquer or be conquered which led to fierce battles. This was not always his goal. Peaceful agreements were his preference. In 1790 the fortress-like Puʻukoholā Heiau was built on the Island of Hawaii. It prophesied King Kamehameha’s conquest of the islands. In 1810, after acquiring the island of Kauai in a peaceful agreement, that prophecy was finally fulfilled.<p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">With strategies and timing and after many years of conflict,
King Kamehameha united the Hawaiian Islands into one royal kingdom on June
11th, 1810. This significant event also prevented the Islands from being torn
apart by competing western interests.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Up to this day June 11<sup>th</sup> is known and honored as
King Kamehameha Day in Hawaii. It is a celebration of togetherness for the
entire nation where different cultures come together and recognize each other. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Four statues stand on the Hawaiian Islands in honor of King
Kamehameha’s memory. Every June 11<sup>th</sup> they are ceremoniously draped
with flower leis to celebrate Hawaii’s greatest king.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hilo was King Kamehameha’s first seat of government.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmhXKg65rsCHtleFB9Wv12KdI-NP24UiyIrr00iQ5ca4qgTScns-zG_5ph_avJ-xuddckRK--aZCOhTzNLtbWu6hKRotziXM-1-Dhko8knrPNv-gordK5pcfTycJhU5SfVtlCdlZ45diZCZ93TqxzVLt2mdcw7A9Q-qO5769auJTYMu1wo8V9Uy4kzow/s709/Hilo%20Kamehameha.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="552" data-original-width="709" height="311" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmhXKg65rsCHtleFB9Wv12KdI-NP24UiyIrr00iQ5ca4qgTScns-zG_5ph_avJ-xuddckRK--aZCOhTzNLtbWu6hKRotziXM-1-Dhko8knrPNv-gordK5pcfTycJhU5SfVtlCdlZ45diZCZ93TqxzVLt2mdcw7A9Q-qO5769auJTYMu1wo8V9Uy4kzow/w400-h311/Hilo%20Kamehameha.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>At fourteen
feet the tallest of the four statues is located at Wailoa State Park on the Big
Island of Hawaii. <o:p></o:p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">King Kamehameha died in May of 1819. Nobody knows for sure
where his resting grounds are. A Hawaiian proverb says ‘The morning star alone
knows where Kamehameha’s bones are guarded’.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">According to legend, King Kamehameha I may be buried at the
royal palace of Moku’ula in Maui in the grotto of a half-dragon, half-woman
named Kihawahine. Others believe his remains are in a cave in Maui’s Iao
Valley, where many great Hawaiian chiefs are buried.<o:p></o:p></p>

It was the people’s way of life and a part of ceremonies throughout the French Polynesian islands for thousands of years. The dancing was used to enthrall a lover, to challenge an enemy, to worship a god, and even for prayer.</div><div><br />There are four main styles of Tahitian dance – ōte'a, aparima, hivinau and pa'o'a. The most well-known dance is the ‘Ote-a. It is fast paced with rapid hip shakes, graceful arm movements and powerful Tahitian drum percussion. The dance talks about life. Men often tell war and adventure stories. The women’s dances are about home life or nature.</div><div><br /></div><div>The dancers wear elaborate costumes such as grass skirts with tassel belts to highlight the hip movements and brightly colored flower headdresses.</div><div><br />In the 1800s the missionaries outlawed Tahitian dances. In 1956 Madelaine Moua gave the dance a new life by creating a group named Heiva. Many dance groups, born in this time, still exist today. The yearly Heiva I Tahiti became the biggest dance contest where the entire population comes together for weeks to celebrate traditional Tahitian dance, music and songs. Tourism developed because people became fascinated by the Tahitian dance and culture. <br /><br />For many years the annual Heiva has been the most important event in Tahiti.</div><div><br /></div><div>The beauty of the traditional Ori Tahiti inspired the creation of the Tahitian Dancer Art Doll Mahana. </div><div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #8e7cc3;">Mahana (Sun)</span></b></div><div style="font-weight: bold; text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #8e7cc3;">The Tahitian Dancer</span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: #8e7cc3;">Birth Date: Lune 4, 2023 (06/04/23)</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #b4a7d6; font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-weight: bold;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #b4a7d6;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.hawaiiancollectiblemenehunedolls.com/10-art-doll-mahana-the-tahitian-dancer" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge5h8bTKOTygZlhW9ulYnuvVYYz0b3GZPc56CxoaKf-0HzDdc5bD46Tquxygl1KBj9pnmwlVI1Z-vIdltZe4NV8YOGeak2wo_4kI3k4Leb2B2gPNZ70_Am3Au6JqW2Gf7xwyT-4CbMqV3J4GpUzeeRw_a6wcX_g0t2d_q-5KwslPR8YZvF3Debbo4/w300-h400/M%2011.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><br /></span></div></span><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #8e7cc3;">Mahana’s dance reveals the power of positive change and awakening.</span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #8e7cc3;">Her smile is like sunshine, warming body and soul.</span></b></div><br />Dancing the ‘Ote-a, Mahana’ arms move gracefully swinging her Iis (tassels) while her hips swirl faster and faster to the powerful rhythm of the drum.

Kamapua’a had superhuman powers and was often referred to as Pua’a Akua (Hog God). As a kupua (demigod) he could change at will from a handsome loveable man to a destructive hog.<br />Pele, Hawaiian Volcano Goddess, and Kamapua’a were once lovers. Their romance didn’t last very long and soon turned into competitive battles, in which Kamapua’a unsuccessfully tried to extinguish Pele’s flame.<br />Many formations around the islands are considered evidence of the fierce battles between Pele and Kamapua’a. Eventually, Pele granted Kamapua’a to reign in the rainforests of Kohala, Hamakua and<br /></div><div>Kamapua’a became protector of the pigs and the cascading waterfalls bestowing abundant growth to the lands of Hawaii.</div><div><br />Kamapua’a and his Pua’a (Pig) are Hunters of Aloha, caretakers of the forest and the Menehune’s guardians. Together they walk fearlessly through the beautiful Kaiholena Mountains watching for dangers and threats to their beloved Ohana (family). <br />Kamapua’a carrying his lei o mano (shark’s lei club), and Pua’a with his tusks are always ready to protect their loved ones and shield them in a safe cloud of Aloha. <br />Pua’a is Kamapua’as Aumakua (Guardian Spirit). They are so closely connected that they have become inseparable friends. <br />Kamapua’a carved his lei o mano out of Koa wood and surrounded it with shark teeth. Only Gods and the Ali’i are allowed to use the lei o mano. <br />After Kamapua’a finished his lei o mano, he blessed it with a prayer and salt water from the Pacific Ocean for purification and protection.</div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/1466270108/ooak-art-dolls-10-kamapuaa-hawaiian-pig?click_key=59726b692973496489299aac23d0f9335d6858fd%3A1466270108&click_sum=b2cbccc5&ref=shop_home_feat_1&frs=1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkhPok3olyNyi5gDuYa97xYlEmRwRifvnovwHRCeh94NZzv7SxdNsHwKIizTyVxY-G2YcOATq-THcJEK2wr6fFtMGfsgVGYfcgRGMO9K4ODdmsTbVF31EhFdBCPcqFCHccvoP87B6bNifZ6lOdeK-phyQk3mcW9Ih6s3dPeBUUZWrroAH8BVqMYeg/w300-h400/K%2014.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>Kamapua’a wears a beige Malo (loincloth), a Kupukupu (fern) Haku (head lei), neck and ankle leis.

The rainbow was often associated with messages from the spirit world and death. Death was believed to be a transformation of the soul where it began to move between the earth and upper realms of the ancestors. The soul then became a god who was able to enjoy earthly abundance. The rainbow was the path the Gods used to travel from Nu'umealani, 'the sacred raised land of the heavenly ones', down to earth. <br />The rainbow is a symbol of transformation and pathways to the heavens of raised consciousness and enlightenment. The clouds and shadows in nature and within ourselves are illuminated by the rainbow. The rainbow shines light upon all that interferes with unity and wholeness.</p><div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><b>O ka 'onohi ula o ka lani ko inoa</b></i></div><i><div style="text-align: center;"><i><b>The rainbow of heaven is your name</b></i></div></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div>'Ula' means flame, 'Inoa' means name. The rainbow ignites the spiritual in your name. It refers to those who are related by the fire in their spirits, which burns for peace, harmony, justice and love of the earth. In the heat of this fire, Rainbow Warriors fight fear and doubt pursuing the rainbow path. The ancient wisdom of the rainbow can be found in all cultures and is actively used to eternalize peace and harmony in the world. Rainbow Warriors teach this ancient wisdom to those who have forgotten.</div><div>Clouds, thunder, lightning and rain precede the shining beauty of every rainbow. As you go through transformations and move on to new realms of existence, the rainbow lights the way to your pot of gold.<br /><br /><i>Anuenue,the Hawaiian Rainbow Goddess, is a messenger of the Gods. Also called, the Beauty of Manoa, she was born of the divine wind and rain of Manoa Valley on Oahu. Since ancient times the valley has been regarded as “the royal palace of rainbows,” where Anuenue, the beautiful Rainbow Maiden, can be seen playing wherever the light of sun touches the misty rain. Anuenue is so beautiful that a rainbow follows her wherever she goes.<br />Anuenue was raised by her grandmother Waka in a secret forest clearing in Manoa Valley. Waka surrounded her Mo'opuna Wahine (granddaughter) in a fine mist to guard her maidenhood until she would be ready to marry a man of highest royalty. There Anuenue lives up to this day.<br />Her 'I’iwi bird guardians bring her gifts of Ohia Lehua blossom as Anuenue watches over the Aina (sacred land). </i></div><div><br /></div><div>Rainbows are seen so frequently in Hawaii, that the Islands are often called 'the Rainbow State'.<br />To the ancient Hawaiians rainbows were a symbol of good luck and prosperity. Babies destined to become great chieftains were born with rainbows over their homes and accompanied by rainbows throughout their lives. </div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsEgLUFb5rT2EiVL3ZNBK3xiveirQej3Vb81rc81ZEDmJ7NbkbG38bFHqObpjYAo_0pxAJEC4GNbXEPz7PI4QjYWsNGkV0zYVUgXhPlwLTmAtoVdPtNc8OBs6Nuawqj0a44h3EaBch4ob_Y-DLuAVWwCxMEfuvOY73u-QB31-qCQ5k9j2fVmlEG7o/s480/Rainbow%20Warrior.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="359" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsEgLUFb5rT2EiVL3ZNBK3xiveirQej3Vb81rc81ZEDmJ7NbkbG38bFHqObpjYAo_0pxAJEC4GNbXEPz7PI4QjYWsNGkV0zYVUgXhPlwLTmAtoVdPtNc8OBs6Nuawqj0a44h3EaBch4ob_Y-DLuAVWwCxMEfuvOY73u-QB31-qCQ5k9j2fVmlEG7o/w299-h400/Rainbow%20Warrior.jpg" width="299" /></a></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Rainbow Warrior</b></span></div><div><br /></div>Rainbows were such an important part of Hawaiians culture that they were often portrayed in petroglyphs. A woman with an arch or rainbow signifies she is wise, honored and respected. A man and a rainbow in a petroglyph is interpreted as the keeper of the land and its people. Such petroglyphs are found in the Big Island’s lava fields and in the sacred Iao Valley of Maui.<br /><br />Some natives have said that each color of the rainbow represents a Goddess and thinking of that color will bring about the element associated with it:<br /><br />-White represents the element of water and the Goddess Hina who bestows knowledge and awareness.<br /><br />-Earth Goddess Haumea promises freedom and release. She bears the color red. A stone is used as her element.<br /><br />-Orange is for the Volcano Goddess Pele who infuses energy and focus. She commands the fire element.<br /><br />-Yellow is for the Goddess Hi’iaka who gives presence and purpose. Her element is the wind.<br /><br />-Purple is for Goddess Uli, who endows success and effectiveness. People are her element.<br /><br />-Green is for the element of plants and Goddess Laka, who showers love and compassion.<br /><br />-Blue is for the Goddess Kapo, the giver of power and ability.

Huna was and is the Hawaiian people’s basic truth of life which they learned through their close connection to and awareness of nature. <span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="https://www.hawaiiancollectiblemenehunedolls.com/products-gallery"><br /></a></b></span><br />The 7 principles of Huna are: <br /><br /><b>Ike– The world is what you think it is <br /><br />Kala– There are no limits, everything is possible <br /><br />Makia – Energy flows where attention goes <br /><br />Manawa – Now is the moment of power <br /><br />Aloha – To love is to be happy <br /><br />Mana – Power comes from within <br /><br />Pono – Effectiveness is the measure of truth <br /></b><br /><br /><div><b>Ike</b><br />The Ike principle focuses on the power of thought and manifesting desires. What we think and believe creates our reality. <br /><br /><b>Kala</b></div><div>There are no limits. The limits that we see exist only in our minds and are not imposed by anything outside of ourselves. <br /><br /><b>Makia</b><br />Energy flows where attention goes. Be purposeful with where you focus your energy! Your life is where your attention goes, both positive and negative. <br /><br /><b>Manawa<br /></b>The presence is the point of power. The past and future can be positively affected by acting in the present – but not by focusing on the past or future. <br /><br /><b>Aloha</b><br />Love is happiness. In the spirit of Hawaii Aloha has many meanings. Aloha is love, the breath of life and compassion for all. <br /><br /><b>Mana</b><br />Mana is the soul of Hawaii. Mana means spiritual energy in the Hawaiian language. Mana merges with the spirits of nature. Our greatest strengths and powers lie in the Mana within us. <br /><br /><b>Pono</b><br />Hawaiian Pono is the lifestyle of righteousness. Truth is a virtue. To live Pono is to live to your highest moral ability, as it relates to your truth. This might be through random acts of kindness, treating your neighbor as you’d like to be treated, telling the truth or volunteering. <br /><br /><b>By integrating mind, body and spirit, the seven principles of Huna enable healing and harmony through the power of consciousness. <br /></b><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-pagination: none;">The wisdom of Huna inspired the creation of <b>Tutu and her Mo'opunas</b>.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-pagination: none;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg38yAdqG25GjxNI1jg452Qjx6l_vdAmitiGAkVc0M6SXMG10ZAYgrYUrxCoZGrIMNpxuCUVDPlVL5ACapHlusyUiV4DxhkKLYoFfmQhLrstchvkbZqeqS-YlJj2DLJgzUmrj3EKcOIFm1oFLYGSJeu-RXGwuuTYjxeDgGS_pDAXSXdRHWwVYUyH4/s4032/T%2014.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg38yAdqG25GjxNI1jg452Qjx6l_vdAmitiGAkVc0M6SXMG10ZAYgrYUrxCoZGrIMNpxuCUVDPlVL5ACapHlusyUiV4DxhkKLYoFfmQhLrstchvkbZqeqS-YlJj2DLJgzUmrj3EKcOIFm1oFLYGSJeu-RXGwuuTYjxeDgGS_pDAXSXdRHWwVYUyH4/w400-h300/T%2014.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Tutu and her Mo’opunas</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>(Grandmother and her Granddaughters)</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Makia (Energy)</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Hiku (Seven)</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Lali (Sunshine)</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Birth Date: Pepeluali 14, 2023 (02/14/23)</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Makia’s, Hiku’s and Lali’s Hula and chants perpetuate Mana (spiritual energy), </b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Ao (light) and Aloha (love).</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Kea He Makani O Aloha.</b></div></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>The gentle wafting breeze of love.</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">As grandmother and granddaughters, Tutu Makia, Hiku and Lali share a deep bond of love and unity.</div><br />Tutu Makia is Hiku’s and Lali’s Kumu Hula (Hula Teacher).

Namaka cools the lava with her healing waters allowing it to become newly birthed lands. </span><p style="text-align: left;"></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #9fc5e8;">According to ancient legend, Namaka was married to the mighty sorcerer, Aukelenuiaiku. She was so impressed by his warrior spirit that she taught him her magical powers.<br />But Aukelenuiaiku was seduced by beautiful sister Pele. He betrayed Namaka by taking Pele as his wife.<br />Overcome by rage, Namaka sent high tides and floods to destroy Pele’s home. Pele and her family fled, but could not escape her sister’s wrath. Everywhere that Pele opened a crater for her volcanic fire to rest, the smoke would signal Namaka of her whereabouts.<br />Namaka’s jealousy towards Pele has been said to cause riptides, swells and tsunamis. <br />Namaka followed Pele throughout the Hawaiian Island chain, until Pele finally settled in the high mountains of Mauna Loa, which were too high for the ocean’s waves to reach. Pele became more confident and started battles with Namaka.<br /><br />To this day, Pele’s lava flows thick and hot untill it reaches the cooling waters of the sea — symbolizing the match in strength between the sisters of fire and water.<br /><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #9fc5e8;">Pele is mesmerizing with her fiery display of explosive lava and energy, Namaka sends the ocean’s swells to the Hawaiian Islands’ shores.
