| Summary |
"Fornander Collection of Hawaiian Antiquities and Folk-Lore, Volume 3" by Abraham Fornander is a comprehensive historical account written in the early 20th century. This volume brings together various narratives and traditions concerning the origins, formation, and migration of the Hawaiian islands and their people, as gathered from original sources. It serves as a significant compilation for those interested in understanding Hawaiian culture, traditions, and folklore. At the start of the book, the preface lays a foundation for what to expect in the ensuing content. It discusses the extensive research conducted to unveil the workings and influence of the Hawaiian priesthood, particularly regarding ancient religious ceremonies. One of the papers featured is a detailed account of religious practices focused on nurturing a royal child in a sacred environment, outlining the rituals, restrictions, and prayers involved in the process of childbirth and the upbringing of the child. The opening portion intricately weaves together the importance of divine beliefs, the societal roles of priests, and cultural practices crucial to Hawaiian identity, inviting readers to contemplate the profound connections between spirituality and everyday life in ancient Hawaii.
