The Hawaiian story of the wind keepers – Sydney Iaukea

Get to know the Hawaiian legend of the sacred wind gourd and follow Paka’a’s fight to restore his rightful place beside the king. — Long ago, the Hawaiian wind goddess wielded a gourd that housed the winds of the Islands. It came to hold her bones, along with the life force they carried, and was eventually passed to her grandson, Paka’a. Like his father before him, he became the trusted attendant to the king of Hawaii. But his privileged status also made him a target. Sydney Iaukea shares the tale of the king’s betrayal. Lesson by Sydney Iaukea, directed by Ivana Bošnjak.
