October 18, 2025 · From the Island Star journal
Stories connected to place
In its October journal, Island Star turns from sailing to Hawaiian storytelling. The article introduces the Night Marchers, known as Huakaʻi Pō, through legends of ancestral warriors and processions.
A tradition told across the islands
The journal describes how versions differ between islands and connect with particular landscapes and routes. These are cultural traditions and legends, rather than accounts of verified events.
Travel with respect
Listening to local stories can add meaning to a visit. The full Island Star article encourages readers to approach those traditions and their relationship to the land respectfully.
