Playing unplugged to begin
Telling the story of Ruby (Rubellite Kawena Johnson) and her Tutu's lesson with the coconut tree
Encouraging the lesson of being firm in your commitment, and the far-reaching effect of the water of life found in the niuola.
And the young meat of the niuola is so ono!
Playing HULO (Hawaiian word game) with wooden tiles and the Hawaiian Dictionary
Haumana ho'olaulima (Students cleaning up)
Introductions, and conversation the heart of Hawaiian culture is in truly hearing another's story. We share the salt, wrap the story, and ask another to help keep it safely tied.
The beautiful la'i sent to us from O'ahu by our cousin Kaliko become braided lei done in pairs like braiding sweetgrass
We have begun to ho'omoku and the birthing was a blessed event. Mahalo to all, Mahalo na aumakua.
Great pictures. It was a wonderful event and I learned a lot. I was sorry to leave so soon.
