Abstract

Brief excerpt from interview: The Kumulipo is this cosmogenic, genealogical chant that celebrates the creation of the universe and traces that creation of the universe, the correspondence of the things that are of the ocean and the things that are of the land and traces that correspondence all the way down to Kalākaua. It is Kalākaua's genealogy. It's this incredible story that shows different creation stories along the way. I would like to teach it, but it's very daunting because it's so layered and there's so much kaona... In terms of composition, the integrating of the different, you know, so the humuhumunukunukuapuaʻa is a pig-snouted fish that is related to the puaʻa, the pig on the land, so you have the pig-snouted fish in the ocean and the pig on the land and sometimes they substitute for each other... The symmetry of it is incredibly beautiful. It opens up the kino lau too, the different bodily forms the different akua [gods] take.
