Hear a Hawaiian Chant

Retrieved from Fornander Collection of Hawaiian Antiquities and Folk-lore, Vol. IV, Ea Mai Hawaiinuakea speaks of the genealogy of our Hawaiian Islands and our royalty beginning with Haloa, the first man of Hawai‘i. Genealogy chants are important in Hawai‘i because they're a reflection of ones's background. Identity allows one to better understand their kuleana (responsibility) to their place and people becasue they understand that they have a role to play in the continuing of this genealogy, this story of Hawai'i.
