ABSTRACT This thesis examines items of fantastic feats within old Hawaiian stories that were written in the Hawaiian newspapers. Perhaps all of us are familiar with Māui’s fishhook named Mānaiakalani, however, the other items of that era are not as well known. These types of items did not haphazardly make their way into the stories; they preserve an old custom of taking your ancestors with you on your jouney, never traveling alone. These items are separated into two categories; things that are created, and body parts. These two things are slightly different, which are further explained in the paper, however it has to deal with mana. In the Hawaiian stories that we have inherited, kupua take their ancestors with them on their voyages. These ancestors are taken by way of familial objects, which are these spiritual items, termed herein as mea kupua. |
