Just minutes before a traditional Hawaiian blessing, a pod of joyful humpback whales began gathering by the temple where the event was taking place. The voice you will hear in the background is Aunty Aka, and you can hear the excitement in her voice as the whales celebrate wildly in front of her and those gathering for the special blessing~~~
The instrument you hear in the background is a bamboo
pu 'ohe~~~
Aloha!!!

Aww, thats cute. :) Its amazing what joy whales can bring to us. Some of the slapping is actually called "Peduncle throwing" Which is where they fling the back half of the body from the peduncle(hump on their back) to the fluke up in the air.

Awesome... And more proof of the irrefutable connection between our thoughts and whales, dolphins, wildlife, etc. One more reason to protect these precious angels of the Earth and Sea.

Wow! I was there on the Kona coast that day - just a few miles from this ceremony and we saw whales going by in that direction!
