Since its discovery in the nineteenth century, He Kumulipo has posed problems of interpretation. John Charlot applies the principles of form and redaction criticism used in classical and biblical commentaries. He separates two levels: the originally independent memorized materials and the redactional framework into which the composer has inserted them. Charlot then concentrates on the personal view of the composer in the context of Polynesian literature as a whole and of classical Hawaiian culture and education with its verbal organization of knowledge.
The chanter - basing himself on worldwide traditions and naturalscientific observation - describes the development of the universe from the elements through plants and animals to human beings. Each human being progresses through similar stages as does humankind itself. The extended family is the whole universe, which is our home. He Kumulipo celebrates its power and beauty in poetry that unites intellect and Emotion.
