Season 2 Ep 5: KAPAEMAHU UnErased
Description
Aloha! In this episode, you will hear the story of the Healer Stones of Kapaemahu, their erasure in the age of American imperialism, and current efforts to restore the monument to the healer stones - and the story of the mahu - to their rightful place in Hawaiian history.
Who are the mahu? What happened to the healer stones? How are they memorialized today? And what can YOU do to keep their history alive? Have a listen! Aloha and Mahalo.
