Guardian of the Mountain: Ku Kia’i Mauna

Ku Kia’i Mauna: We are the mountain. These words resonate throughout Hawaii as the people stand to protect the natural environment from relentless profit-driven development and destruction.  The goddess Pele rages. Holding nothing back, she chants the ancient protection chants and breathes fire from the integrity of her belly. Love for the people and land ignites passion. Anger fuels action. Action brings change and renews life.
