More DescriptionKumu Keala has a passion for sharing Native Hawaiian wisdom with all who desire to learn. His chants are composed with concepts that are both ancient and current. And like the Hawaiian language itself, they have many layers. They may be read as literature, and they may also be vocalized and performed by the students in his oli or chanting classes. They may help the readers learn Hawaiian language as they sit with the Hawaiian dictionary by their side. The translation in English is helpful, too. The reader who seeks to know the Hawaiian traditions will find these chants filled with love for the 'āina (land) and nature, as well as concepts such as aloha, ho'oponopono (forgiveness), humility, and righteousness that are foundations of all harmonious human existence.
