A Maunakea o Kalani is a 14-line composition that is the last, in geographic sequence, of the eight mele that were composed for Queen Emma's expedition of 1881 from Mana, Waimea, to Maunakea and back. It begins with Queen Emma's rejuvenation of physical and spiritual healing at Lake Waiau and describes her energy and leadership on what, for her companions, is a very long ride home.
