The Wind Gourd: A Tale of Loyalty and Restoration
Long ago, La’amaomao, the Hawaiian wind goddess, possessed a remarkable gourd that contained the winds of the Islands.

Paka'a devoted himself to learning the countless winds that danced and roared across his homeland, capable of summoning storms and stirring the very essence of nature. He served as the trusted attendant to King Keawenuia’umi of Hawaii Island, just as his father had done before him.
