“In the beginning there were no canoes or people in canoes…” 

Out of the darkness / Po creates life. Hawaiians describe the geologic evolution as interplay between the goddess Pele represented by fire and lava, and the god Kane, embodied in the many forms of water.

“It is the time of Ao, the time of light.
…there are people in the canoes…”

People sail far across the ocean in their canoes to find and cultivate the fertile land. After a long time, other explorers appear from across the sea. The life of the indigenous population changed but the love for their wonderful country remains. The legacy of the royal family lives on with the Hawaiian people until the present time. Today, the dignity and strength of that culture is again valued and honored.
