Published in Ka Nupepa Kuokoa 16 Iune 1883, A Luna Au O Maunaloa, is a mele inoa for Princess Ruth Keanolani Kanāhoahoa Keʻelikōlani. It is speculated that this mele was written for the Princess in response to her pule and hoʻokupu presented to Pele in 1881 to halt the flow of lava that threatened the district of Hilo. This mele inoa honors Princess Ruthʻs steadfast beliefs in perpetuating the importance of staying connected to our Kūpuna through traditional Hawaiian cultural practices. "
