October 19th, 2025 - Kū: The God of War and Protector of the Islands

This week on The Little Grass Shack, Island Emory takes listeners on a powerful journey into the heart of Hawaiian legend with the story of Kū, the mighty God of War. Known as one of the four great deities of ancient Hawaii, Kū’s influence went far beyond the battlefield — shaping the islands’ traditions of farming, fishing, leadership, and community resilience.From the heiau of Puʻukoholā, where King Kamehameha the Great sought Kū’s blessing for unifying the islands, to tales of Kū transforming into a breadfruit tree to feed his family, this episode explores how strength, sacrifice, and balance define the Hawaiian spirit.Alongside classic and contemporary island music, Island Emory celebrates the mana — the living energy — of a god whose presence still inspires warriors, artists, and cultural leaders today.✨ A weekly escape to aloha, culture, and storytelling — only on 91.5 KUNV Jazz & More, The Little Grass Shack
