Kapaemahu recounts an ancient Hawaiian legend about four spirits: Kapaemahu, Kapuni, Kinohi, and Kahaloa. Each spirit was mahu, meaning they embodied both feminine and masculine aspects in mind, heart, and spirit; they also possessed unique healing abilities: Kapaemahu healed through touch, Kapuni addressed spiritual healing, Kinohi could diagnose ailments, and Kahaloa could heal from a distance. Centuries ago, these mahu traveled from
Tahiti to
Waikiki, sharing their healing knowledge with the locals. As a tribute, the islanders constructed a monument by transporting four large boulders from the mountain to the beach. The mahu transferred their powers to these rocks before disappearing. The monument stood on the beach for many generations, but with time, the monument and the stories and wisdom it represented faded from memory. == Reception ==
