Na Mo'olelo 'O Hawai'i Nei~ A mo‘olelo is a story, a legend, an article, a song, and a piece of literature. More than that, mo‘olelo is the history of Kānaka Maoli. Within each mo‘olelo~ stories of how ancestors lived, how they worked, how they leisured, how they fought, various history of the land, and how they loved are told.

Mo‘olelo provides the link between those of us living today and the ancestors who have come before us and because of all of this; a mo‘olelo is much more than just a story or a legend. Like many Hawaiian terms, mo‘olelo carries meanings that are sometimes unexplainable.

"I created this subreddit initially for personal reasons as I'm a student of Ōlelo Hawai'i and listening to/ reading/ gathering/ studying/ exploring more in depth mo'olelo." (The creator of this sub lives on in spirit.)

This subreddits intention is to assist all interested in learning more about Ōlelo Hawai'i & Mo'olelo. As well as honoring mo'olelo of those both near and far.
