One of the Tales of Kana Retold by Keonaona Kapuni-Reynolds When Hakalanileo was kidnapped by King Keoloewa, her children tried to rescue her. Uli is the mother of Hakalanileo, Kana is her child that was born a string and Niher was her strongest son. Her mother raised kana, because when he was born he was only a string and he was thrown into the pigpen. After awhile, he called out to his grandmother Uli to help him, so Uli went down to the pigpen to get her string grandson. After Uli prayed for her grandson his string for changed into a child and Kana was an extraordinary child. He had a huge body and he could do everything with ease. When his mother was kidnapped, Niheu asked Uli if Kana could go with him to get their mother who was kidnapped by Chief Keoloewa. The grandmother allowed him to go with him and they sailed on the canoe to Moloka‘i where the mother was. At that time Moi the kahuna of Keoloewa saw the coming of a brave and strong warrior on his way to rescue Hakalanileo. He went and told the king what he seen, however Keoloewa wasn’t afraid, he just tole Moi to summon the evil of the sea to attack the canoe of Niheu and Kana so that Moloka‘i wouldn’t be affected. As Kana guys were traveling they met lots of evil just like all the evil spirits. When the evil spirit A‘u was seen, Kana changed his body into a rock and he attached himself around the canoe so that when A‘u tried to attack the canoe, he would attack the rock and that was how the evil A‘u spirit died. If you want to know how Kana and Niheu’s mother was returned that is another story. |
