Voices of fireside recovers the misplaced and often-suppressed value of this literature, restoring it to its basic position in Hawaiian tradition.
Ku‘ualoha ho‘omanawanui takes up mo‘olelo (histories, tales, narratives), mele (poetry, songs), oli (chants), and hula (dances) as they have been conveyed through dozens of authors over a tumultuous sixty-eight-year interval characterised through inhabitants cave in, land alienation, financial exploitation, and armed forces profession. Her exam exhibits how the Pele and Hi‘iaka legends acted as a framework for a local feel of group. releasing the mo‘olelo and mele from colonial stereotypes and misappropriations, Voices of Fire establishes a literary mo‘okū‘auhau, or family tree, that offers a view of the ancestral literature in its indigenous contexts.
