:01:00
and of great Kane,
father of the universe
:01:03
and all that lived therein.
:01:05
And so it remained
until in the days of Kanakoa the King
:01:11
there came upon the people of this island
:01:13
the most terrible anguish
that can afflict the spirit of man...
:01:17
a time when the gods
began to change.
:01:20
For in that day there arose a new god
:01:24
whose appetite for human sacrifice
heaped the altars high with his dead...
:01:30
Oro. Oro whose eyes
were the eyes of death.
:01:34
So King Kanakoa
called together his people and said,
:01:39
"This new god, this Oro,
is a god of vengeance and wrath.
:01:44
Let us run away from him."
:01:49
The State Canoe of Bora Bora
was the swiftest vessel
:01:53
in all the oceans of the world.
:01:56
They filled it with roots and seeds
to plant in a new land
:02:00
which, legend told them,
lay far to the north.
:02:04
From its holy place
they took the sacred stone,
:02:08
the image of gentle Kane,
:02:11
and guided by Mano the shark,
:02:13
set out through uncharted seas
towards the unknown,
:02:18
until at last they approached
the shores of a land
:02:21
never seen before by the eyes of men,
the glowing land that was Hawaii.
