Having reached Kaua‘i she found that Lohi‘au had died, and following the ceremonies, she revived him and began her journey with Lohi‘au to return to Pele’s domain at Kīlauea, Hawai‘i.

In the Kumulipo the world was created over a cosmic night. This is not just one night, but many nights over time. The ancient Hawaiian kahuna and priests of the Hawaiian religionwould recite the Kumulipo. Queen Liliʻuokalani described the chant as a prayer of the development of the universe and the ancestry of the Hawaiians. Liliʻuokalani translated the chant under house arrest in Iolani Palace.The Kumulipo is a cosmogonic genealogy, which means that it relates to the stars and the moon. Out of the 2102 lines, it has 16 "wā" which means era or age. In each wā, something is born whether it is a human, plant, or creature. Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/samperalta)
