Voices of Wisdom Hawaiian Elders Speak

This treasure-house of Hawaiian wisdom, illustrated with amazing photographs, comprises interviews with 24 Hawaiian elders, or kahuna. Through these interviewees, we are taken on a guided tour of those disciplines, talents and skills which are enshrined in Hawaiian culture. These qualities, and the people who describe them, have been instrumental in the cultural renaissance that has awakened the spirit of Hawaii in recent decades. In VOICES OF WISDOM, we learn about: * Lanakila Brandt - a priest of Lono who has lifted death curses placed by black magic sorcerers. * Lydia Mai'ho - the keeper of the bones. A woman descended from great chiefs, whose family have long been caretakers of the Hawaiian royal family's bones. * Pualani Van Dorpe - an artist who single-handedly revived kapa making, an ancient art using bark cloth that had been neglected for over a century. VOICES OF WISDOM celebrates living and powerful men and women in a way that allows readers to weave the profound lessons of the island elders into their own lives.
