The Sacred Woman: Honoring the Divine Feminine Across Traditions
•
30m
Pualani Case grounds the Sacred Woman Festival with protocol, introducing herself through chant, lineage, and a request for ancestral permission, honoring the sacred feminine embodied by fire and water on Hawaiʻi Island. She traces her “genealogy” to New York through Indigenous People's Day, relationships with local nations, and solidarity journeys such as Standing Rock, showing how kinship weaves communities together. Centering Mauna Kea, she recounts a decade of prayerful resistance to an 18-story telescope to protect water, land, and life-ways, and asks the audience to stand with them. She offers a chant for Pele and leads a collective prayer video, inviting everyone to focus intentions on their own mountains and waters. Throughout, she models aloha, respect, and empowered feminine leadership rooted in ceremony and responsibility.
