"I think that for many people, looking at a rainbow is like a wonderful, positive thing. Whereas in ancient Hawaii, looking at a rainbow would be a portent of something, probably something important and someone important. Maybe a person of extremely high mana is indicated by that that rainbow. So that’s a distinction that probably is lost to the majority of people that live in Hawaii nowadays."
