Kilauea is erupting and the lava lake in the Halema’uma’u Crater is filling up. Hawaii Volcano National Park is just a few miles from Misty Mountain Studio.  I’m going to try and get some video of the activity.  So the video or the Vodcast will be later next week.

This episode brought to you under the influence of Golden Lemons Wax 92% Total THC and cannabinoids.  Big thanks to Sam, Justin, Cole, Koa, Stephen, Alfred, Brandon, Natalia, Aleia, Mike, Danny, and Ms. Gwen.  Your help and support are always appreciated!

Also, Mahalo to IRE Smoke Shop next to the BIG store in Hilo.  IRE is my go-to spot for cleaning supplies, screens, papers, and other stuff.  Wide variety of great products in IRE Smoke Shop.  Thank You Dylan for letting me leave free crutches there.

People of the Islands

Volcanoes are monuments to Earth’s origin, evidence that primordial forces are still at work.  Volcanic Eruptions remind us that our planet is ever-changing, with its basic processes beyond human control.  As much as we have altered Earth’s face to suit our needs, we can only stand in awe before the power of a volcanic eruption.

Volcanoes are also land builders – they created the Hawaiian Island Chain.  Kilauea and Mauna Loa, two of the world’s most active volcanoes, still add land to the Island of Hawaii.  Mauna Loa, Earth’s most massive mountain, has an estimated volume of 19,000 cubic miles.  Today’s summit of Mauna Loa Volcano stands 56,000 feet above the depressed sea floor – over 27,000 feet taller than Mount Everest.  

Unlike explosive continental volcanoes, the more fluid and less gaseous eruptions of Kilauea and Mauna Loa produce fiery fountains and rivers of molten lava.  Added layer upon layer, the flows created a barren volcanic landscape that became a foundation for life.

A few million years ago, spores released into the wind from a fern in southeast Asia were carried by air currents high into the jet stream, where they drifted eastward.  Eventually they settled on lava fields in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. 

Wind and water carried hundreds of species across the vast Pacific.  Some survived, adapted, and prospered on the isolated archipelago, making it a showcase for evolution.  When humans arrived (first Polynesians, then Europeans) with other plants and animals they drastically altered the natural balance that prevailed.

Polynesians from distant lands came to the shores of Hawaii over a thousand years ago.  Sailing on large, double-hulled canoes, they navigated by using the position of the stars, the sun, and the moon, by the movement of waves, and by the flight of birds.  These ancestors of Native Hawaiians, guided by the elemental forces of nature, arrived with only bare necessities.  By drawing upon the resources of the land and sea, they sustained themselves and thrived. 

Again – my friend, Bruda Jonah helping with this translation:

Native Hawaiians recognized and revered a pantheon of gods, goddesses, and guardian ancestors with traditions that have evolved and are still practiced today.  Woven into all aspects of life were ritual and reciprocal protocols that asked permission and gave thanks.  These were necessary for the perpetuation of resources upon which life depended.  Accumulated knowledge and wisdom enabled Native Hawaiians to adapt to life on these volcanically active lands.  They tended crops in shallow rock pits, dried salt along the shoreline to preserve fish, and captured birds to eat.  Water was collected in gourds, drop by drop from the ceilings of lava tubes or from springs.  Deities rewarded careful stewardship and their wrath was felt if they were displeased.  Today, in these seemingly inhospitable lands, a myriad of resources feed, clothe, and house the people of Hawai’i.  

Some Native Hawaiian Families trace their lineage to Pelehonuamea, a woman deified because of her power over volcanic eruptions and lava flows.  Today Pele resides in Halema’uma’u.  Respect for her presence is essential in a land where evidence of here work abounds and where landscapes can be transformed overnight.  Through the centuries, in times of plenty and of scarcity, Native Hawaiians remain steadfast in their love of these cherished islands, their ‘aina aloha!

Much Mahalo’s to my friend Bruda Jonah I for helping me with this episode.
