The song the girls are performing tells the story of a swift runner, or kūkini in ancient Hawaiʻi. Kūkini were well-trained athletes whom the chiefs used as a delivery system for messages, packages, espionage intel, and medical aid. This song focuses on ʻEleʻio, a famous runner on the island of Maui. He runs from Lahaina to Hana, a distance of at least 50 miles, to fetch an awa fish for the chiefʻs feast. ʻEleʻio is so capable that he leaves from Lahaina in the morning as the feast is preparing, and returns in the evening with the fish by the time the feast is ready.
