Ka Hōʻuluʻulu Manaʻo: The importance of the extended family in the Hawaiian community can be easily seen on any weekend at public parks, churches and yards throughout the Islands as the ʻohana regularly gather to celebrate their connectedness to one another, to affirm their common past and to nurture the future generations. The values, relations and psychic bonds that are the sinew of the Hawaiian family fortunately attracted the interest of two researchers who went to live in the community of Kaʻu on the Big Island of Hawaiʻi in the 1930s... This insightful study of the Hawaiian family... explored the manners and customs accompanying the cycles of life-- from birth, marriage, sexual practices, religious beliefs, and family relations through death and afterlife. Most importantly, Pukui was able to persuade her kupuna or elders who resided in Kaʻu to publicly share for the first time their insights of the Hawaiian worldview. The result is an indispensable study which combines scientific methodology with Native Hawaiian sensitivies in a way which is invaluable to modern readers who seek to understand the inclusiveness, love and durability of the Hawaiian ʻohana.
