April 15, 2017 @ Kapa'a Quarry Road clean-up! Kukona from our team (guy with big papale) was able to help and be part of an awesome Kapa'a triangle clean-up crew. It's not just about one group's effort, it's about all efforts combined!
Mahalo for the invite and a chance to meet new community members! |

Makahiki Nui 2015

Makahiki Nui 2015 was our first makahiki ceremony at Pōhakea and Palalupe. The names Pōhakea and Palalupe were the Hawaiian names for the ʻili, or small parcel of land, that was recorded in an 1888 map by A. Bishop (AVA Konohiki). Today, in honor of the ʻāina, we have returned to using the names Pōhakea (white rock) and Palalupe (soft, flattened end).
We were able to have Makahiki Nui at Pōhakea and Palalupe only because of the many, many hands that came out to get the place ready. We really want to thank all of our volunteers for all the hard work they put into the ʻāina! Pōhakea and Palalupe are returning to their stunning beauty because of each volunteer's sweat and love for the land. |
