The Gift From The Ulua Retold by Keonaona Kapuni-Reynolds It was amongst the steep cliffs to the east of Kohala, Hawai’i that Pupuhuluena once lived. When he first came to the area there was no food growing. All the food had been taken and hidden by the gods of Ka‘u&_macron;. So he decided to go fishing. While he was fishing, the fish then gathered under the canoe, there were Manini, Aku, ‘O&_macron;pakapaka and Ulua. He followed the fish until he passed the cliffs, but the fish didn’t stop there. They continued around Hawai‘i. Until he arrived off Kohala, the fish didn’t stop there either. When he reached Kawaihae, no fish stayed there, Pupuhuluena thought the fish are probably being summoned to Ka‘u&_macron; by the gods, and he continued to follow the fish. He reaches Puako in Maniniowali that is where the Manini stayed. Pupuhuluena continued on his journey and followed the rest of the fish to Kaelehuluhulu where the Ku&_macron;pipi and ‘O&_macron;pakapaka stayed. The Ulua was the only fish that Pupuhuluena was following. They continued on to Kalae, where the Ulua stayed. This Ulua, they did two things, the first, they took Pupuhuluena to Ka‘u&_macron; where the food-stealing gods were. The second, they wanted to thank the people of Ka‘u&_macron;, to thank them for Kalae, where the Ulua was staying. The present was Kukui. Once Pupuhuluena reached Kalae he saw two fishermen, he chewed and spit out the Kukui he had, until the sea was clear and he could see the fish. The Fishermen however, were chewing and spitting the mo&_macron;hihi into the sea, and they couldn’t see a think. Pupuhuluena showed them the qualities of the Kukui. And just as the Ulua wanted, Pupuhuluena gave the fishermen the Kukui seeds, and this is how the first Kukui trees were brought to Kona and Ka‘u&_macron;. |
