E KE KANAKA ,E KE KAMAKAAINANA ,E KE ALI'I , MAKA HONUA NE KA KOU ALOHA E ALOHA E ALOHA E ..........Kanani..Kimbolila St. James Ka Wai Ola Mana Loa Robinson Satchitananda (Hawaiian/Blackfoot/Chikasa/Tsalagi) calls this book Talking Medicine because her poetry (inspired by visions) is designed to invoke the spirit and uplift the soul, healing the self through poetry just as the body is healed through medicine using the ,Ho'opono pono method which has been handed down to Kumu Kanani by her grandmother .Her poetry, written in both Native languages and English, also helps listeners â€,,hear the voices of the ancestors”. Talking Medicine is one of my greatest gifts .It is KUU MAKANA O ALOHA' How can I express my love to the world? How can I share? I affirm: Aloha ,Divine love now expresses through me-the Creative Force shows me how to live my highest desire, which is to bring ALOHA to mankind through my art, my poetic expression, my teaching, and DANCING HULA and living the Presence of God.

Medicine BagMy first medicine bag was made for me by Charlie Bear, a Chocchtaw warrior who resided in Northern California.It was given to me in ceremony-andI promised to remember it,,s significance always. Medicine BagGreat Spirit remind us that Sacred Mother gives forth beauty upon beauty.Corn reminds us that there is plenty for us to eat so we may be strong.White rock reminds us that darkness is for the animals and during that time we rest.Brown rock reminds us that darkness is for the animals and during that time we rest.Black shiny rock reminds us of the old ones and others who have gone before us.Pine cones remind us to multiply and bear many sons.We must remember this-that Sacred Mother provides us with all we need to live and be strong.We must forever stay close to her so that our days will be long and our dancing happy.
