Kumulipo is the Hawaiian creation story. From the first atoms of matter formed in darkness to the most complex life forms of land, air, and sea, this 2,00 line chant recounts the birth of all living things in Hawaiʻi. Long before the time of Charles Darwin, the Hawaiian people possessed an intricate understanding of how life on Earth progressed through the afes, realizing our relationship to each and every aspect of our environment. This is our story from the very beginning.
