Under the Volcano: the People of Kalapana, 1823 to 2010
This oral history shares the memories of people who grew up in Kalapana in the 1920s and 1930s, often in their own words. One of the few Hawaiian communities that persisted into the t20th century, Kalapana life remained distinctively Hawaiian, including traditional methods of fishing and farming, family life, Hawaiian language, and belief in Hawaiian spirits, until the community was forced to disperse by lava from Kīlauea Volcano in the 1980s.
