Virtual Kahaukani Conversations
Ke Alanui Polohiwa a Kāne:
Summer Solstice Conversations
We are looking forward to welcoming you back to MHC in person in early July. In the meantime, we are excited to invite you to a Virtual Kahaukani Conversations event, in anticipation of the Summer Solstice.
As the Summer Solstice is upon us (Saturday, June 20) we have invited special guest(s) to share their interpretation of the significance of this solar phenomenon with the goal of better understanding ourselves in this place (Hawai‘i) and time. These conversations will take place next Wednesday, June 17.
On June 20, the sun will reach Ke Alanui Polohiwa a Kane (The Black Glistening Path of Kane), its northernmost point in the sky. Why is this significant? How might this have been interpreted throughout history? How might this time marker intersect with the existence of Kuka‘o‘o Heiau?
