Part 2 - The Journey of Hiʻiaka: Facing the Giants
Ku Project with Daniel Aipa
Each of us faces our own giants, moments that test our courage and remind us of the power we carry within. In this second chapter, Hiʻiaka’s path leads her to Oʻahu, where courage takes form against something far greater than herself. At Kualoa, Hiʻiaka confronts the fearsome moʻo, Mokoliʻi, a creature said to be unbeatable. Her courage becomes a mirror for the giants we each face in life. This story invites you to name your fears, reclaim your mana, and take the next step forward.

Part 1 - The Journey of Hiʻiaka: Answering the Call
Ku Project with Daniel Aipa
The Hiʻiaka Journey Series begins. These are stories of courage, integrity, and transformation — moʻolelo that remind us how to stand tall in the face of challenge. In this opening chapter, we begin where all journeys begin: with a calling. When Pele asks her younger sister Hiʻiaka to travel across the islands to bring back her beloved, Hiʻiaka accepts but only after setting her own sacred terms. This episode explores what it means to take responsibility with integrity, protect what matters most, and say yes to the journey while honoring your boundaries.
