As the time gets closer for my wife and I to the big island we have been sharing more with our family, our plan. My wife's mom is Hawaiian (living in Oregon), and today when we were talking about picking various plants along some of the back roads and transplanting them on our property she was appalled.
Apparently this activity conflicts with some local custom or legend. She wouldn't really go into details so that spurred me to wonder what legends, myths, and customs you all are aware of. I thought it might be fun, and educational to see how many different ones there were and how many you all found to be viable.
The 1 that I most familiar with would be removing sand/rock from the island and resulting bad luck.
Cant wait to live in Puna!
