Description
Umi-a-Liloa with Kahakaʻio Ravenscraft.
Umi-a-Liloa was a ruling chief of the island of Hawaiʻi in the 15th and 16th centuries C.E. The oral traditions of Umi-a-Liloa share the lives of the Hawaiian aliʻi (royalty) from that era. From the kapu system to the implements and emblems we associate with aliʻi, Umi-a-Liloa left a mark through his adventures and accomplishments, and in the legacy handed down through generations. Conall Kahakaʻioikamālie Ravenscraft lives in the ahupuaʻa of Onouli in South Kona. He is dedicated to perpetuating the traditions of his ancestors through ‘oihana of kālai kiʻi (sculpture), moʻokūʻauhau (genealogy), moʻoʻōlelo (story-telling), as well as mālama ‘iwi kupuna (traditional burial practices).
