SUMMARY:UH Press 75th Anniversary Book Talk Series
DESCRIPTION:September 28\, 2022. 4:00pm\, Hamilton Library\, Room 306 and 
 on Zoom\nRegister in advance for this 
 meeting:\nhttps://hawaii.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJctceqsqzkrHdD211vkv1TsgyuDqZ1fBeAj\n\nMarie 
 Alohalani Brown will talk about her new book Ka Po‘e Mo‘o Akua: 
 Hawaiian Reptilian Water Deities (UH Press – January 2022). The book 
 explores the fearsome and fascinating creatures known as mo‘o that embody 
 the life-giving and death-dealing properties of water. Mo‘o are not 
 ocean-dwellers\; instead\, they live primarily in or near bodies of fresh 
 water. They vary greatly in size\, appearing as tall as a mountain or as 
 tiny as a house gecko\, and many possess alternate forms. Mo‘o are 
 predominantly female\, and the female mo‘o that masquerade as humans are 
 often described as stunningly beautiful. Throughout Hawaiian history\, 
 mo‘o akua have held distinctive roles and have filled a variety of 
 functions in overlapping religious\, familial\, societal\, economic\, and 
 political sectors.\n\nMarie Alohalani Brown is associate professor\, 
 specialist in Hawaiian religion\, at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. 
 Alohalani was raised in Mākaha on Oʻahu a Kākuhihewa but her ʻŌiwi 
 ancestral roots begin in Hoʻokena at the foot of the Mauna Loa volcano on 
 Hawaiʻi a Keawe. For the last decade\, she has carried out extensive 
 research in Hawaiian-language newspapers published between 1834 and 1948\, 
 a semi-public forum in which ʻŌiwi shared their knowledge and debated 
 about the important topics of their time. She is currently researching the 
 dynamicity and continuity of Hoʻomana Hawaiʻi.
