The Hawaiian Legend of the Halat Hills
A poetic recounting of Ha Lai Halat Hills and three hills named Na Mou Hale. The tale centers on Hina i ka Ahi the fire goddess and her sister Hina i ka Ua, their taming of famine through sacred rites, the uncovering of the imu, Maui’s rescue of Hina i ka Ahi, and the eventual punishment of Hina i ka Ua. The narrative blends myth with reflections on nature, time, and Hawaiian landscape near Hilo with Ha Lai revered as the jolly hill and Pa Mona the tortoise hill.
