HAAP Ep. 34 - Manaʻo Monday on the chant, "E ala e"

Todayʻs discussion I'm sharing a quick lesson on another oli called, E Ala e.

Itʻs an oli that is normally done in the morning during sunrise as we face the East and ask the sun to rise and reach the heavens over the mountains into the sky. We chant to the sun which is that great bright light in the sky that truly nourishes our foods and brings us warmth and good seasons. It guides us as we navigate ourselves from one area to the next.
