This week, Hawaiʻi Rising presents episodes from the series "Mākua: Piko of Peace" from the Before Us podcast, an audio-documentary series produced in collaboration with Mālama Mākua.

In this mini episode, series producer Kenji Cataldo reads an excerpt from He Moolelo Kaao o Hiiakaikapoliopele from the Hawaiian-language newspaper Ka Hoku o Hawaii, published on November 23, 1926.

In this part of the epic tale of Hiʻiakaikapoliopele, Hiʻiaka arrives at Mākua by sea and witnesses a girl die after striking an unfamiliar rock at the community’s usual cliff jumping spot. Hiʻiaka recovers her body, pulls her to shore, and revives her.
