MOʻOLELO: Maunakea is a deeply sacred place that is revered in Hawaiian traditions.A shield volcano rising 13,796 feet, it’s one of the most prominent landforms in Hawai‘i, but the sacredness of the mauna in Hawaiian culture goes far deeper than its physical features. In Hawaiian traditions of creation, the Earth Mother, Papahānaumoku, and the Sky Father, Wākea, created the Islands, with Hawai‘i Island being the first. “Mauna Kea is considered to be kupuna, the first born, and is held in high esteem. In native traditions, Mauna Kea is identified as ‘Ka Mauna a Wākea.' Because Maunakea was the first-born child of Papa and Wākea, it’s considered the piko (navel, or center of a beginning or ending) of Hawai‘i Island. O hānau ka mauna a Kea, ‘Ōpu‘u a‘e ka mauna a Kea. ‘O Wākea ke kāne, ‘o Papa, ‘o Walinu‘u ka wahine, Hānau Ho ‘ohoku he wahine, Hānau Hāloa he ali‘i, Hānau ka mauna, he keiki mauna na Kea.
