Oral traditions are recounted in this collection of stories that reveal how those who actively lived Hawaiian culture and kept the spirit of the land alive have enabled native Hawaiians to endure as a unique and dignified people.
Great research topic and interesting information. Unfortunately, I feel that this book wasn’t executed as well as it could have been. I found it to be repetitive and believe the author could have synthesized the researched information more effectively. However, I reaffirm that it is a very interesting topic.
Spent months soaking up every jaw-dropping, thought-provoking story and statistic in this book. I loved every chapter and anecdote. My copy is tabbed, highlighted, and marked all the way up just to show the mo’olelo to my family and friends.
