According to Robert D. Craig Havaiti Nui was the mythical homeland of the Hawaiians and Maori. Polynesians believe the gods still live there and their ancestors' spirits return there after they die

There are some problems with that Havaiti Nui medallion story. Havaiti Nui sounds un-Hawaiian. One thing is that the Hawaiian language has lost the letter ‘t’ a long time ago (since at least the 1700’s). One can check any Hawaiian text without finding any ‘t’ in it ( unless in foreign words) The ‘t’ in Polynesian languages became ‘k’ in Hawaiian or is omitted. To give some examples : The Polynesian god Tane is called Kane on Hawaii. The Polynesian word tabu (taboo) is kapu in Hawaiian. Many Polynesians from other island groups refer to an earlier homeland as Hawaiki, Havaii etc. (this may or may not refer to the familair Hawaii) but the Hawaiians are an exception. As good as all known traditions ( including the oldest documented ones) speak of Kahiki (pronounced Tahiti in most other Polynesian languages) as an earlier homeland.

Havaiti Nui isn't Hawaiian, it may not be Polynesian but a holdover from a much older language. The ancient name for Easter Island is Rapa Nui. ------------- "Arguing with someone who hates you or your ideas, is like playing chess with a pigeon.

The link works fine. There is a server error, not the fault of the program. It's been happening once in awhile since the host changed platforms.

After rethinking, one letter diffference should not matter that much. Secondly, I recently read that a few Hawaiian groups still had the ‘t’ this century. So, that name Havaiti Nui is not problematic.  |
