Huaka'i Ken R Young

A journey of discovery into Hawaiian culture and legends takes Danny Kanaloa on a huaka'i to the Big Island of Hawai'i, and then across the ocean to the Tahitian islands of Ra'ivavae and Ra'iatea, the ancient homelands of the Hawaiian people. Exploring the origins of the legendary god Kanaloa, Danny discovers lost records containing several forgotten legends. Through his experiences he finds answers to questions regarding the origins of Hawaiian mythology and makes a deeper connection to his own Polynesian heritage. This story of Danny's journey is a follow-up to the book My Huaka'i: A Hawaiian Journey. It is interwoven with the landscapes, legends, traditions, and historical events of Hawai'i and Tahiti.
