Support our work in collecting and recording stories of Hawaiian stars at our Patreon page, Nānā i nā Hōkū!
Our ancestors had an intimate knowledge of the sky above them. They were keen observers of the repeating cycles, and noted any aberrations. All of this was carefully encoded into chants and stories so that the collected knowledge could be shared with each other, and passed down through the generations.
Now, the first book published through our Patreon project is available!
