To listen to the myth of Pele and Hi‘iaka is to open your spirit to the secret of eternality, to resurrect ancestral memories and connections, and to engage them toward the betterment of our earthly life. The myth of Pele and Hi‘iaka was not intended to be read; rather, it was meant to be told, transmitted from generation to generation through storytelling, chanting, dancing, healing, and day-to-day living in a sacred environment.

Unwrittern Literature possesses the timeless, unlimited depths and imageries of the hula tradition. Wrapped within Unwritten Literature is a bounty of life experiences, from amorous indulgences of the singing psalmists, including genealogies, reasons for exalting the chiefs, lessons of living in this land, descriptions of the characteristics and uses of flora and fauna, relationships of the living and the dead, and births and deaths of creatures of the earth.
