The first part of this day we had an awesome lesson from Aunty Donnie.
Makawalu: "8 eyes"; chiefly mana; infinite knowledge; multiple of 4s, lucky number.
Hawaiians have known 'infinite knowledge' way before they were even discovered. If you put your hand close to your face, thumb up, palm to the side, place your pinky on the horizon, you can tell what time it is. This is how the Hawaiians used to tell time. They even had names for the location of the sun relative to time. Every cloud, wind, and rain had a name.
In the Kumulipo, Hawaiians believed that there were 3 houses of knowledge:
1. Papahanaumoku
2. Papahulilani
3. Papahulihonua
Each of these houses of knowledge are all connected just like every element in life.
The second half of the day we went out into the pond and placed out the marker's for the MegsPEX cages (:
