The Kahu Hanai, who feeds the child with his fingers (mana ai) or from his mouth (pu'a) supposedly transfers his qualities to the child through this contact. As the child grows, these qualities become strengthened and fixed. The individual takes on the likeness of his'Kahu. The Kahu has the tremendous influence and responsi bilityfor either godd or bad upon the young life he is moulding. Later in life when the person, now grown, starts a family of his own, these qualities are passed on to his children or the new generation. When,the young people do wrong, those responsible for the youths cast the blame on society. Actually, it all started in the poi bowl. "I ku no i ka mana a ke Kahu Hanai". In these times when we see and hear so much about what our young people do, we need to pause and find some way to help our young people develop qualities that make them better men and women in today's complex world. By way of comparing a person and the lehua: like the lehua, both grow. The Kahu Hanai nurtures the child. Wahine Kapu (Pele) , . nurtures hope (the lehua), In his youth the individual is beautiful, physically like the liko (young shoots) and the exotic flowers of the lehua. Eventually, the lehua goes to seed and propagates its species. Likewise in maturity, a human begats his own kind. - .
