"The Fornander Collection of Hawaiian Antiquities and Folk-Lore, Volume 1" by Abraham Fornander is a scholarly collection of traditional Hawaiian mythology and historical accounts, written in the early 20th century. This volume focuses on the origins of the Hawaiian islands and the Polynesian race, drawing upon original sources and translations to present stories of migration and cultural significance within Hawaiian lore. The work aims to preserve the rich historical narrative and traditions of Hawaii for both locals and foreign readers. The opening of this collection introduces the reader to the legends regarding the formation of the Hawaiian islands, specifically emphasizing the mythical narratives surrounding the first parents, Wakea (Sky Father) and Papa (Earth Mother). Fornander touches upon the lineage of the islands, detailing the birth of each island as a metaphorical child from the union of these ancestors. It also hints at the compilation's intent to repatriate knowledge and traditions that have been passed down through generations, many of which are at risk of being forgotten. The introductory chapters set the stage for deeper explorations into the unique myths, genealogies, and historical impacts of these stories on the Hawaiian people's identity and heritage.
