Nānā I Ke Kumu Volume 1 - Hawaiian Culture & Language Learning Book | Perfect for Students, Teachers & Hawaiian Heritage Enthusiasts

Nānā I Ke Kumu (Look to the Source) is dedicated to the families and children of Hawai'i. It is a source book of Hawaiian cultural practices, concepts and beliefs which illustrate the wisdom and dignity contained in the cultural roots of every Hawaiian child.

The Hawaiian lived for many years isolated from the rest of the world, with a viable culture that met the needs of a thriving, industrious and religious people. 

The objectives of this work are to provide factual information as accurately as possible in a subject that reaches back to unwritten history and legend, to clarify Hawaiian concepts, and to examine their applicability to modern life.
