THE KUMULIPO AT THE WHITE HOUSE
The Kumulipo is a Hawaiian creation chant. It is probably one of the few recorded accounts about the earliest Hawaiian understandings regarding the origins and life-development in this world. It is also a finely wrought ancient chant that links one family of ali’i, chiefs, to the Creative and to the pantheon of gods shared by other Polynesians. It is about how our world was formed and the inter-connectedness of that world.
