This oli has traveled with me from one end of our island chain to the very other end. From Hawai’i Mokupuni all the way to Hōlanikū. It is the first oli I taught the Hale Haumea and it will be one of the oli that will be shared in ‘Akahipapahonuamea.
This rainbow arched the sky as we made our way from Kuaihelani to Hōlanikū. How beautiful it was to greet this ho’ailona of the goddess Keānuenue alongside my sister @kapuleifloress 🌈.
“If I didn’t know any better
I’d say that rainbow was for you and me
If I didn’t’t know any better
I wouldn’t continue to believe
But I saw it with my own eyes
Oh I saw it with my own eyes
Ka’a iā Kuaihelani
Hō‘ea hou mai i Hōlani!
Hōlani!”
