Background
from huapala.com:
"Translated by Kä`eo Kawa`a - Moses W.
Kaaneikawahaale Keale, more commonly known
as Keale Ta Kaula (Keale, the prophet) was
one of Ni`ihau's most famous and powerful
christian leaders. Born in Kalalau, Kaua`i,
about 1828, he was an excellent hunter, not
brought up in the new christian religion.
One day, as he was hunting, he followed a
white goat up a cliff and became stranded on
a ledge. A falling rock hit him, causing him
to lose his balance and tumble into the
river called Makani Kahoa. As he plummeted
down the cliff, he called out, "If
there really is a God, he will save me and I
shall spend the rest of my life serving
him". His fall was broken by a pandanus
tree and he was pulled from the river by his
dog. Another version varies a little, but
the facts, the fall and rescue by his dog
are the same in this story of his
conversion. Keale started his first church
in Waimea, Kaua`i and was led to Ni`ihau
where he was greatly loved and respected as
a kahu and for his gift of prophecy. Many
songs were written in his honor and he in
turn wrote many prayers and hymns for his
church that are still used today."
