Synopsis "He Moʻolelo no Kapaʻahu: Story of Kapaʻahu"

In He Moʻolelo no Kapaʻahu/ Story of Kapaʻahu, Emma Kapūnohoʻulaokalani Kauhi tells stories of her early life growing up in the Hawaiian village of Kapaʻahu in Puna, Island of Hawaiʻi, between 1916 and 1935. Kapaʻahu was an island of Hawaiian culture that had survived within the encroaching flow of Western culture and economic development.The stories are told in Hawaiian by Mrs. Kauhi in the first half of the book, then given in English translation by Charles Langlas in the second half. They create a picture of rural Hawaiian life in the early Twentieth Century in a place that remained Hawaiian, ranging from childhood games to fishing to Hawaiian medicine to caring for the goddess Pele.
