Ke Alaloa O Kūkini
History Of The Kūkini
Ke Alaloa O Kūkini, roughly translated is "The Long Pathway of the Swift Runner". In ancient Hawaiʻi, messengers (Kūkini) were sent out to call in other chiefs for meetings, to call for tribute, to gather in laborers to build public works projects such as temples, to spy on rival chiefs, and to summon warriors to battle. The Kūkini were elite warrior-athletes, often of chiefly descent, who were selected to undergo rigorous physical and mental training.
