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 third 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 battles and defeats the kupua Pōhakuloa in exactly the way she described to the people of Mākua, who are amazed to see the action unfold.
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.
