Chanting carries the history of the Hawaiian people from generation to generation. Before written language, in pre-contact Hawaii, every event, battle, prayers, stories and notable births and deaths were recorded in the memory of the chanter. He was responsible for passing on the stories, legends and history of the Hawaiian people.
