Haena: Through the Eyes of the Ancestors,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Haena is a land steeped in antiquity yet vibrantly beautiful today as any Hollywood fantasy of a tropical paradise. He aina momona, a rich and fertile land linked to the sea and the rising and setting sun, is a place of gods and goddesses: Pele and her sister, Hiiaka, and Laka, patron of hula. It epitomizes the best that can be found in the district of northwestern Kauai, known to aboriginal Hawaiians as Hale Lea (House of Pleasure and Delight). This work is an ambitious attempt to provide a unique perspective in the complex story of the ahupuaa of Haena.Carlos Andrade begins by examining the stories that identify the origins and places of the earliest inhabitants of Haena. The narrative outlines the unique relationships developed by Hawaiians with the environment and describes the system used to look after the land and the sea. Andrade goes on to research the changes wrought by concepts and perceptions introduced by European, American, and Asian immigrants. He delves into the impact of land privatization as Hawaii struggled to preserve its independence. The Mahele and the Kuleana Act, legislation that laid the foundation for all landholding in Hawaii, had a profound influence on Haena. Part of this story includes a description of the thirtynine Hawaiians who pooled their resources, bought the entire ahupuaa of Haena, and held it in common from the late 1800s to 1967a littleknown chapter in the fight to perpetuate traditional lifeways. Lastly, Andrade collects the stories of kupuna who share their experiences of life in Haena and surrounding areas, capturing a way of life that is quickly disappearing beneath the rising tide of nonNative people who now inhabit the land.Haena: Through the Eyes of the Ancestors is a distinctive work, which blends folklore, geography, history, and ethnography. It casts a wide net over information from earliest times to the present, primarily related from a Native perspective. It should be of great interest to historians, ethnologists, sociologists, and students of Hawaiian language, literature, and culture.
