Summary: |
Lots of info in this compact book. Discusses access to the area, safety precautions, plant and animal life. It also incorporates some beliefs of Hawaiians derived from legends of the area. For example: "Hawaiian legends indicate the souls of the dead depart our island from Ka'ena. They are guided by family 'aumakua or personal guiding spirits to the spiritual world. The spirit of a person who had served life well would pass to the right to join other friendly spirits. But the spirit of a person who had not served life well would pass to the left into the 'pit of endless night.' You will find the solitude of this land does seem appropriate for spiritual communication and how Hawaiian legends help add significance to your visit to Ka'ena....."
