Description
The honu, or green sea turtle, has been an important Hawaiian symbol for as long as people have inhabited the islands. A petroglyph of a honu can even be found in the Pu'u Loa lava fields on the Big Island, proof of its ancient importance to the Hawaiian people. Ancient Hawaiian myth tells stories of the honu leading the original Hawaiian people to the islands. Other stories tell of honu as guardian spirits that choose the shape of the sea turtle. Not just a symbol of good luck but a representation of a guardian to protect one from their enemies.
