Nelita's birth was foretold by kapuna and kahuna where her family lived. They (the kapuna and kahuna) understood that her birth was of great importance for her people and she would be born with full sight and great skills as a kahuna. They told her parents of the need for her to have the best training for the work she was to do.
At age 4 the kapuna came to the family and told them the time had come for her training to begin.
They wanted to take her with them to insure her proper training in all the aspect of Kahuna. Her Tutu (grandmother) stepped forward and told them she would train Nelita. Nelita's grandmother was a highly
respected and ranked Kahuna. She was rigorously tested by the other Kahuna and was found extremely capable to train Nelita. Nelita went to live with her grandmother for the next 20 years to learn all the ancient ways of Kahuna. Her skills as a Medical Kahuna and her abilities in all the ways of Kahuna were exceptional.
Nelita began teaching her lineage later in life to selected students to insure that knowledge would not be lost and the healing arts of her lineage would continue.
Nelita passed this physical life at age 64 and from her freer position continues to guide and complete the training of those that carry her lineage. That commitment was continued for 17 years and is coming to a close soon. Her freedom will be complete and her passing on of the ancient knowledge also complete.
Mahalo nui loa Kahu for your wisdom and guidance.
