Na Pule Kahiko begins with a discussion of prayers and the multitude of ancient gods and goddesses, then continues with chants that were a part of daily living, and prayers for a broad range of life events. Including voluminous footnotes that further enrich and amplify the text, this book is a treasury of historic knowledge and a glimpse into the society of ka po‘e kahiko, the people of old Hawai’i.
The content of Na Pule Kahiko owes a lot to author June Gutmanis’ thorough research and diligent organization, benefitting from her collaboration with Theodore Kelsey in his twilight years. Kelsey was a leading authority on Hawaiian language and culture who lived from 1895-1987. His work has been referenced by almost every major ethnographer. Citations of his contributions to this work are abundant within the footnotes.
Originally released in 1983 this text is reprinted exactly as first published, with the addition of notes and biographical information, making it a must for any Hawaiian reference collection.
