Some speculate that the destruction was caused by ignorance, irreverence for the sacred land and its power, and the greed of the developers who sold land on a high risk rift zone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTakara likewise illuminates the reader about Hawai i and its people, \u003cem\u003eKanaka Maole\u003c\/em\u003e, their spiritual traditions, history, continuing reverence for Nature, and the significance of the ancestral memories, legends, and myths on contemporary culture and life styles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTakara's subtext is a commentary on the climate crisis and dire situation and conditions of our earth.
