Ka Na'i Aupuni is the latest book by The Rev. Dr. Malcolm Nāea Chun following his book on countering sorcery, Kuni Ola. The subtitle: Kamehameha and his feathered gods, Tahitian colonies and sorcery covers the areas Nāea touches upon in this new publication. It also has a full colour insert of 36 pages that comprise of images of all the existing known akua hulu manu in public collections. Written like a detective novel he traces the origins from both Hawaiian language and haole (Euro-American) sources to tell an intriguing story of their influence on Kamehameha, their connection with ancient Tahiti and the Cook Islands and their function as war and sorcery gods. It brings to light certain cultural insights that have been missed by previous scholars, as such as ears and movable mouths; that some of the gods have and the traditional names of several of the gods than one universal one, and the amazing connections with the ancestral homeland. Ka Na'i Aupuni is limited to 1,000 copies.

In Pono: The Way of Living, Chun explores why pono is the core value for critical Native Hawaiian thinking and decision making. He uses traditional and historical accounts to describe what pono means, how it was valued in traditional society, and the key role it has in modern Native Hawaiian society. Pono: The Way of Living is the first volume in the Ka Wana series and as such, presents the world view of Native Hawaiians. This book is one of eleven short volumes of the Ka Wana series, which is part of the Pihana N&#x101; Mamo Native Hawaiian education Program.

Health is a primary concern among Native Hawaiians. Despite the fact that early foreign accounts record the good health of the native population and the state of Hawai`i is called the "healthy state," Native Hawaiians top the statistical data for modern diseases and chronic illness. Many have written and commented about this situation, and in Ola, Malcolm N&#x101;ea Chun brings together the writings of early Native Hawaiian scholars and the eyewitness accounts of foreigners and missionaries to develop a historical perspective on this issue. He then uses his experience working in Hawaiian health at the Department of Health and as a translator of Native Hawaiian manuscripts on traditional Hawaiian medicine to examine the topics of diet and religion as they pertain to traditional well being. This book is one of eleven short volumes of the Ka Wana series, which is part of the Pihana N&#x101; Mamo Native Hawaiian Education Program.
