Ka Lae: The Story of Uncle RobertDescription:
“That Saturday we spent 5 hours recording Uncle Francis as he told story after story of their experiences in Ka‘ū in the early 1940‘s. The following story is one of them. Uncle Francis was about seven or eight years old when he had this experience. It is his first-hand account of an experience that occurred quite often when medical science fell short and traditional practice of a kahuna is turned to. He never forgot this experience with Kahuna Henry Kawaikapu, his younger brother Robert who was extremely ill and his family. The year was 1940 or 1941 and for the most part these are Uncle’s words as he told the story to me. Editing was kept to a minimum, it was important to preserve his voice and at the same time give you a clear picture of what was happening.” Language: English |
