The Healer Stones of Kapaemahu

On Honolulu's famous Waikiki Beach stand four large stones that represent a Hawaiian tradition of healing and gender diversity that is all but unknown to the millions of locals and tourists passing by. According to legend, the stones are a tribute to four mahu, people of dual male and female spirit, who brought the healing arts from Tahiti to Hawaii and used their spiritual power to cure disease.

AIFF would like to thank Hinaleimoana Wong-Kalu, Dean Hamer, Joe Wilson, and Daniel Sousa for granting us permission to screen their film.

We hope you enjoy the story that has been revived, fostering an appreciation for the Hawaiian culture and the art of healing. For more information on the film, visit http://Kapaemahu.com.
