Wailua River | Hawaii
Wailua River | Hawaii
Kaua’i, HI 2012
Within the vast unbounded terrain of New Mexico; the canyons and arches of Arizona and Utah that are ephemerally painted by the sun; the scorching salt flats of Death Valley; and the interminable white sand dunes of El Paso, there exists a silence, a sort of purl spiraling inward to the portal within. These lands were inhabited for centuries by the Native Americans, who lived in complete harmony with nature. Their deep knowledge of the migration patterns of animals, of the seasonally changing topography of the land, the medicinal properties of endemic plants, enabled them to survive off of the land and develop a deep relationship with it.
According to the creation myth of the Hawaiians, the one who created the island and the mountains also created the people, hence we are all siblings from the same mother. The cosmogonic poem of the Hawaiians, the Kumulipo chant, relates the origin of the cosmos to the origin of the human race. The Wailua (Ke Awāwa o Nā Ali’i, Valley of the Kings) is one of the most sacred places in Hawaii. It is the place where the Creator of the islands, Goddess Pele is believed to have entered Hawaii. The sacred Hula dances of Kaua’i are also believed to be associated with Wailua.
