This year's 2013 theme is...
Nā Kupua ‘E‘ē, the peculiar shape shifters
This year's theme was given by ʻAnakē Vanda Hanakahi a kupuna of Molokaʻi. The theme, Nā Kupua ‘E‘ē celebrates the peculiar shape shifters of ancient Hawaiʻi, specifically from the island of Molokaʻi. Kupua were unique beings because of their ability to change forms. Some took the form of an animal such as a stingray or caterpillar. Others took the form of different elements of nature such as the wind, rain, or a whirlwind. A common thought is that all kupua had a human form, when in fact some kupua never took human form. There were some kupua who were good and acted as guardians protecting the ʻāina (land) and people in the area they lived, other kupua who chose to do evil brought harm and destruction to those around them.
