For Kamalō, the Taro Field From Tales of Moloka‘i, by Harriet Ne and Gloria Cronin This is a tale of Kamalō, the taro field. Before it was called Kamalō, Kamalo‘o was the name of that place, because this is where the sea once was, however the land got try, the sea went out and didn’t come back in. The people loved this area because of all the tide pools and because the waves never broke on this place. One day after the saltwater ponds was build Kimo Ka‘ilianu wanted to be different from the other fisherman of the land. His taro fields were near the sea, so he just put the fish inside his taro field. He put in small āholehole, awa and ‘ama‘ama inside the fishpond, taro field. The fish grew large and fat in this taro field. In those days Kimo observed the fishponds and he soon found out why the fish and the taro were fat. When the fish eat, they swim throughout the fishpond, the water is circulated and cleaned and doesn’t float with a stench. Kimo had an adopted son named Puni, and he asked him to clean the taro ponds. Puni was exstatic because he loved to go watch the fish in the pond swimming in the taro pond. With his love and fun for the fish, Puni made trouble for his father. One day he caught lots of ‘Iao and released them in the taro field. The ‘iao is a sacred fish because of its connection with the lizard. Once Kimo saw this wronging of the child, the results were devastating because this rule was broken Puni was seen floating on the surface of the taro field, with ‘iao in his hands. Everytime Kimo went back to that place; he was filled with sadness so he traded his piece of land for another in the uplands. Until this day Puni’s laughter is still heard. |
