This week, Hawaiʻi Rising presents episodes from the series "Mākua: Piko of Peace" from the Before Us podcast, an audio-documentary series produced in collaboration with Mālama Mākua.
In this final mini episode, Mākua descendant ʻEleu Robins reads an excerpt from He Moolelo Kaao o Hiiakaikapoliopele from the Hawaiian-language newspaper Ka Hoku o Hawaii, published on November 30, 1926.
In this part of the epic tale of Hiʻiakaikapoliopele, Hiʻiaka instructs the community on how to continue caring for the injured girl. The Mākua community members bemoan their lack of water, and Hiʻiaka reveals an underground source of freshwater to them.
For an English translation of the story of Hiʻiaka at Mākua by Kepā Maly, visit www.malamamakua.org/hiiaka.
The full series "Mākua: Piko of Peace" is available on the podcast Before Us.
