3 Key Things to Know
Kinolau o ke Kai Hōhonu: The Mūheʻe
(Manifestation of the Deep Ocean)
In Hawaiian tradition, the Mūheʻe (squid/cuttlefish) is a powerful kinolau, a physical form of the ocean's vast and mysterious energy. The Mūheʻe was respected as a silent messenger of the deep, a creature that thrives in the realm of the unknown and navigates the shadows of the sea with grace and intelligence.
Master of Light: Many local squids, such as the Hawaiian Bobtail Squid, have a symbiotic relationship with bioluminescent bacteria. They use light to camouflage themselves against the moon, teaching us the importance of harmony and blending with our surroundings.
Respect the Cycle: Mūheʻe are essential to the ocean's food web. To respect them is to protect the health of our reefs and offshore waters, ensuring that these "arrows of the sea" can continue to thrive for generations to come.
