Many of these legends are about Pele who according to Polynesian myth lives in Kilauea. The story of Pele’s arrival and occupation of Kilauea can be found in the very first story, “AI-LAAU, THE FOREST EATER.” Ai-laau lived in the volcano spewing forth his fire from the great crater when Pele came to the seashore far below. On seeing Pele, Ai-laau was fearful and fled leaving the volcano to her, where until this day she digs and continues to release plumes of fire and rivers of lava. Herein you will find the legends of: Ai-Laau, The Forest Eater How Pele Came To Hawaii Pele And The Owl Ghost-God The Hills Of Pele Pele And The Chiefs Of Puna Pele's Tree Pele And Kaha-Wali Pele And Kama-Puaa Pele And The Snow-Goddess Genealogy Of The Pele Family Pele's Long Sleep Hopoe, The Dancing Stone Hiiaka's Battle With Demons How Hiiaka Found Wahine-Omao Hiiaka Catching A Ghost Hiiaka And The Seacoast Kupuas Lohiau The Annihilation Of Keoua's Army The Destruction Of Kamehameha's Fish Ponds Kapiolani And Pele We invite you to download and read this very topical edition of Legends Of Hawaii’s Volcanoes, the activity of which was just as important to the ancient, original inhabitants of Hawaii as they were to the second generation of Americans who have arrived on the islands in relatively recent times. Instead of wading through the scientific explanations for the recent volcanic activity, just maybe there is another, hitherto, unexplained reason for the eruptions, some of which also give an interesting perspective on Hawaiian history. =========== KEYWORDS/TAGS: fairy tales, folklore, myths, legends, children’s stories, children’s stories, bygone era, fairydom, fairy land, classic stories, children’s bedtime stories, happy place, happiness, laughter, history, historical, Hawaii, Islands, , Pele, Hiiaka, lava, great, fire, Lohiau, beautiful, Kauai, crater, chief, goddess, forest, Kilauea, sister, power, water, volcano, journey, winds, spirit, Kama-puaa, dragons, Puna, pit, Hilo, smoke, Hopoe, clouds, fires, ferns, Kapiolani, struck, volcanic, islands, ancient, death, earth, fish, Wahine, omao, Kamehameha, lightning, mountains, Hawaiians, Pana-ewa, skirt, magic, waves, deep, leap, ocean, Kaha-wali, pig, stone, precipice, erupt, flowers, Poliahu, battle, anger, destroy, divine, river, flee, prophet, pour, native, Mauna, sleep, chant, holua, birds, evil, Na-maka-o-ka-hai, fire-goddess, dragon, Haumea, floods, lehua, king, surf, tabu, lover, ghost-gods, Oahu, Maui, Pau-o-palae, au-makuas, missionary, earthquake, sacrifice, Moo-lau, , canoe, Kane, west, kupuas, Keoua, Pii, Ku-waha-ilo, Lono-makua, Ai-laau, Kahuku, bones, Keaau, Kane-hoa-lani, Ka-moho-alii, whirlwind, traveller, guardians, Hiiaka

Download or read book When Pele Stirs written by Wendell A. Duffield and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2003-11-27 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Follow scientists and technicians of the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory as they scramble to take the pulse of Big Island volcanoes in attempts to forewarn the public of impending eruption; progress is made, but complete understanding of these powerful forces of nature remains frustratingly elusive. Watch bad guys and harmless hippies as they cultivate illegal gardens of marijuana on the slopes of Kilauea Volcano, directly in the path of searing lava flows; some growers pay the ultimate price for their addiction to pot and its ill-gotten financial rewards. But above all, listen to Pele, the Hawaiian volcano goddess, as she manipulates success and failure, even life and death, of human intruders on her volcano home. When Pele Stirs paints a realistic picture of life on the Big Island, and will help the reader understand why Christian missionaries have failed to eliminate the worship of Pele, in spite of their efforts to do so for nearly two centuries.

Download or read book Hawaiian Volcanoes written by Clarence E. Dutton and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hawaiian Volcanoes, written by Clarence E. Dutton as part of the 1883 Annual Report of the U.S. Geological Survey, is the first comprehensive study of volcanism in Hawai‘i. In addition to being of both scientific and historical interest today, it is a fine example of natural history writing. It takes the form of an entrancing nineteenth-century "roadside geology" of the Big Island and much of Maui, combining Dutton's clear, elegant writing style with his eye for color and line and meticulously accurate observations of Hawai‘i's people and landscape, as well as its geological phenomena. A new foreword discusses the importance of Dutton's ground-breaking report and its influence on subsequent research on Hawai‘i's volcanoes. The present volume also includes a colorful biographical sketch of Dutton, a discussion of his assignment to Hawai‘i, and a list of his principal writings.
