I ka wā mua makaʻala ʻia nā hōʻailona o ka ʻāina e ka poʻe no ka mea ma mua o ko lākou hele ʻana i ka lawaiʻa paha, ka huli holoholona mea ʻiʻo ʻai a i ʻole i ke kanu ʻana o nā meakanu e like me ka ʻuala, ka maiʻa, ua nānā lākou, nā poʻe kūpuna, i nā hōʻailona. "In the time before, the signs of the lands were watched by the people, because they wanted a forecast before they went fishing, hunting, or planting sweet potato, banana and they looked for signs, the ancestors." Thus, to understand Kalapana, it must be grounded in the knowledge of our ancestors, which is embodied by natural forces and presences such as the rains, winds, and lāʻau of this place.
