Learn to be aware and watchful like Kanaka and Pua’a! Let their Mana (spiritual energy) of strength, courage and Aloha flow into you.

Kanaka and Pua'a honor Kamapua'a, the Hawaiian Pig God, who was the protector of the pigs and cascading waterfalls bestowing abundant growth to the lands of Hawaii. Pua’a is Kanaka’s Aumakua (Guardian Spirit). Kanaka and Pua’a are so closely connected that they have become inseparable friends. Kanaka and Pua’a are Hunters of Aloha and the Menehune’s guardians. Together they walk fearlessly through the beautiful forest in the Kaiholena Mountains watching for dangers and threats to their beloved Ohana (family). Kanaka, carrying his bow and arrows, and Pua’a with his tusks are always ready to protect their loved ones and shield them in a safe cloud of Aloha.

Kanaka, the Hunter of Aloha and Pua'a, the Pig often watch over Hoku, the Guardian Angel, who loves to rest in the serene Hawaiian Ohia forest and worship the beautiful world around her.

Kanaka’s Kuku (grandfather) helped him to make his bow, arrows, and bamboo quiver. The top of the arrows are surrounded by yellow feathers for purification and protection. When the bow, arrows and quiver were finished Kanaka and his Kuku blessed them with a prayer and salt water from the Pacific Ocean.

Kanaka’s Tutu (grandmother) sewed his green lava lava (wraparound) with a fern leaf design. The color green is associated with magic, growth and harmony. Last, as an added blessing and protection, Tutu lovingly wrapped the tusk amulet around her Mo’opuna Kane’s (grandson’s) neck. All these things were Tutu’s and Kuku's sacred gifts of Aloha to their beloved Mo’opuna Kane.
