Ki’i meaning picture or image and Pohaku meaning stone Kāne (pronounced ka-ney) / Kane-Hekili / Kanaloa Hawaiʻi Nei Hana Kinohinohi’ia decorations by the hand of man / Ka Po’e Kahiko The People of Olde / Kanaka Maoli The People Hawaiian petroglyphs and the general cultural sanctification of stones on the islands of Polynesia “There is life in the stone, and death in the stone” / Earth Mysteries My husband Jacob Mau showed me the secret location of this beautiful ancient petroglyph on Maui in a remote area. I have researched the ancient Hawaiian petroglyphs all over the internet and I have yet to find another that looks like this one. To protect the cultural and sacred significance of this ancient *Ki’i Pohaku, I will hold secret it’s precise location. Lost in time are the origins and meanings of Hawaiian petroglyphs, the carved rock art of the ancient Hawaiians. No one is certain of their meanings for there are no historical records and those Kahuna who knew of the mystery and magic took those secrets to their graves. In ancient times, the only means man had to record his thoughts was to scratch pictures onto rock. Hawaiians invest worship and respect in, and intuited spiritual powers to, a range of natural objects and phenomena such as rain, volcanic eruptions, the ocean, sharks, fresh water springs, surf and individual rocks. *Pohaku O Kane, or sacred rocks, are among the most common spiritual objects of worship, whether they were naturally occurring in the landscape (pohakuia loa), rocks set on platforms (pohaku amakua), carved rocks (pohaku iki) or the petroglyphs themselves (k’i’i pohaku). “Petroglyphs (also called rock engravings) are images created by removing part of a rock surface by incising, pecking, carving, and abrading. Outside North America, scholars often use terms such as “carving”, “engraving”, or other descriptions of the technique to refer to such images. Petroglyphs are found world-wide, and are often (but not always) associated with prehistoric peoples. The word comes from the Greek words petros meaning “stone” and glyphein meaning “to carve” (it was originally coined in French as pétroglyphe).” In Hawaiian mythology, Kāne Milohai is the father of Kamohoaliʻi, Pele (whom he exiled to Hawaiʻi), Kapo, Nāmaka and Hiʻiaka by Haumea. He created the sky, earth and upper heaven and gave Kumu-Honua the garden. He owned a tiny seashell that, when placed on the ocean’s waves, turned into a huge sailboat. The user of the boat had merely to state his destination and the boat took him there. In agricultural and planting traditions, Kāne was identified with the sun. The word Kāne alone means “man”. As a creative force, Kāne was the heavenly father of all men. As he was the father of all living things, he was a symbol of life in nature. In many chants and legends of Ancient Hawai’i, Kāne is paired with the god Kanaloa, and is considered one of the four great Hawaiian divinities along with Kanaloa, Kū, and Lono. Alternatively known as Kāne, Kāne-Hekili (“thunderer” or “lightning breaking through the sky”), Kāne Hoalani. Kāne was the leading god of the great gods named by the Hawaiians. He represented the god of procreation and was worshipped as ancestor of chiefs and commoners. Kāne is the creator and gives life associated with dawn, sun and sky. According to the possible late edition of the Kumuhonua legend, he formed the three worlds: the upper heaven of the gods, the lower heaven above the earth, and the earth itself as a garden for mankind; the latter he furnished with sea creatures, plants, and animals, and fashioned man and woman to inhabit it. No human sacrifice or laborious ritual was needed in the worship of Kāne. Kane Ancient God of Light and Life in Hawaiian mythology, Kāne Milohai is the father of the tiki gods Ka-moho-ali’i, Pele (whom he exiled to Hawai’i), Kapo, Namaka and Hi’iaka by Haumea. He created the sky, earth and upper heaven and gave Kumu-Honua the garden. He owned a tiny seashell that, when placed on the ocean’s waves, turned into a huge sailboat. The user of the boat had merely to state his destination and the boat took him there. In agricultural and planting traditions, Kane was identified with the sun. The word Kane alone means “man”. As a creative force, Kane was the heavenly father of all men. As he was the father of all living things, he was a symbol of life in nature. In many chants and legends of Ancient Hawaii, Kane is paired with the god Kanaloa, and is considered one of the four great Hawaiian divinities along with Kanaloa, Ku, and Lono. Alternatively known as Kane, Kane-Hekili (“thunderer” or “lightning breaking through the sky”), Kane Hoalani.

Full Moon Hoku / Wailea Beach / Maui Hawai’i Ko’i / Sacred Sunrise Ceremony honouring Ko’i, (the Hawaiian stone Adze) which is an ancient Hawaiian Pohaku (stone) tool still used today, which is crafted from the hardest basalt pohaku found on stone quarries throughout the Hawaiian Islands. “Highly prized by Hawaiians, for it helped to shape the world of Hawaiians to survive in the most remote and isolated place in the midst of the Pacific Ocean”. The Ko’i helped to fell trees to build canoes, build hales (homes), carve bowls, weapons and many other important implements which help and protect the people of Hawai’i Nei” This ceremony was hosted by the Maui Chamber of Commerce. My husband Jacob Mau is na Kupuna o Maui, he is a Hawaiian Elder of Maui, and he is in one of a fleet of 12 canoes on the horizon as Kanaka (Hawaiians) dance Haka and chant Olelo greeting the full moon at sunrise as they are calling in the Kanaka Kupuna (Hawaiian Elders) in traditional Hawaiian language, chanting and song. It was so beautiful. This is a presentation representative of the 12 Moku (districts) of Maui with a Kanaka Kupuna (Hawaiian Elder) representing each Moku bearing a ho’okupu (gift) of a pohaku (stone) from their moku (district) in honour of Ko’i. The Ko’i and Pohaku, the Ho’okupu are transported on the canoes with Na Kupuna O Maui, and upon their arrival at sunrise on the beach near the Grand Wailea, a sacred ceremony took place including a presentation of Maui’s 12 Moku (districts), represented by 12 Pohaku (volcanic stones) placed by their respective Kupuna on the Ahu (altar). This is in recognition of all districts of Maui and for all the people of this island beginning with Honuaula, the location where we are here at Wailea Beach, to Kahikinui, Kaupo, Kipahulu, Hana, Ko’olau, Hamakualoa, Hamakuapoko, Wailuku, Ka’anapali, Lahaina, and Kula.

A Coconut drifts with the incoming tide at sunset on Makena Landing. View toward Kanaloa (Kaho’olawe Island) and the isle of Molokini. Maui Hawai’i “There are countless names of God, which we cannot utter simultaneously, but through a soulful composition, we can experience the whole power of God’s presence amidst us. I feel that the power and grace of the divine is infinite — it is we human beings who create boundaries and try to limit this power. For artists, I believe that this manifests itself in the form of inspiration which helps you create something wonderful. If one is sincere, no prayer goes unanswered”. A. R.
