The Birth of Hawaiʻi – The Story of Papa and Wākea

Discover the Native Hawaiian creation stories that connect people, land, sea, and sky into one living family. From Haloa, the first child who became the kalo plant, to the cosmic calabash that transformed into the sun, moon, and stars, this video explores how ancient moʻolelo reveal the genealogy of the Hawaiian universe. You will learn how: • Haloa’s sacrifice gave life to kalo, the elder sibling that still nourishes Native Hawaiians today • The cosmic calabash became the heavens, the sun, and the guiding stars • Land is ʻohana, not property, where mountains, streams, and reefs are honored as family • The Kumulipo chant maps genealogy from ocean depths to celestial skies, tying human life to the cosmos • Sacred spaces such as Papahānaumokuākea carry on traditions of stewardship, identity, and respect for future generations These stories are more than myths. They are genealogies, lessons, and responsibilities. They remind us that the land is not something we own but a relative we must care for. If you value cultural preservation and storytelling, support Native Hawaiian traditions by learning about indigenous stewardship and respecting the deep connections between people and place.
