520	8		_a"In the tropical paradise of ancient Hawaii, man, gods, and nature formed a consciously interacting and interrelating cosmic community. All of the species of nature were thought to be sentient--capable of knowing, choosing and acting. Through evolution, all were related as kin. Hawaiian lives in a community in which man, gods, and nature cared for each other and watched over and protected each other as family: they felt a sense of belonging and "at homeness" in the world which is unknown to Westerners. Book I of 'A Hawaiian Nation' discusses this fascinating view of reality."
