What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Kupihea writes eloquently about the destruction of Hawaiian spiritual values by the invasion of a new culture … and the key to returning to a spiritual balance with humankind and nature.” * Library Journal *“The Cry of the Huna is a journal of hidden things coming to light–an engaging collection of ancestral imagery, narratives, insights, and documented material that becomes Kupihea’s own inner journey from violence to wholeness. In sharing his journey with the world, Kupihea adds new light to the universal search for meaning and hope that is based on the spiritual nature and foundation of life. In these days of global insecurity, the timely subject of his book is the search for true identity, ancestral reconnection, and spiritual harmony–a search important not only to native Hawaiians but to all people of Earth.” * KAHU KALEO PATTERSON, PH.D., M.DIV., United Church of Christ, and former member of the American Boar *“Kupihea’s writing is so clear, so concise, that the reader is literally taking this trip with him… . through his ability to move between the past and the present, we are given a clear view of a culture that [it] is most important that we not allow to die away. “This book will touch you, the reader, in unexpected ways. It will become part of your spiritual growth, whether you are of Hawaiian lineage or not.” * Bonnie Cehovet, Angelfire, Sept 2005 *
