In the Hawaiian "Stone Age"

Archeologists refer to the material culture of ancient Hawai'i as neolithic, since its basis was via the use of stone tools. In a volcanic setting, metal-bearing ores were unavailable, so the development of tools and weapons was based on a foundation of available materials that included coral-derived limestone, sedimentary sandstone, and a variety… Continue

Signs of Lono in the heavens...


Here is an oli dedicated to Lono, presented during the Makahiki. My favorite line in this one is "Amoamo ke akua laau nui o Lono!" (Resplendent is the great wooden image of Lono!) As we see in the image below, when the great staff of Lono was up, the people are prepared for wildness and games of skill and strength.

Off to Brazil!

Tomorrow I head off for a grueling day of travel that will take me through Chicago and Miami and end in Manaus, on the equator in Brazil. I have been asked to serve on a multi-agency assessment team to critique conservation efforts in the Amazon. I find myself both dreading and eagerly anticipating the trip. Dreading the 100 degree weather that Manaus has been receiving lately, eager for the views of a new country, far from my previous brushes with South America: Rapanui (Chile) and Galapagos (E… Continue

Aloha Ohu, e kala mai, i haven't been on the site for a while. I am still interested in Oli. Have been so busy with work and other things I haven't had much time to think about adding more to my plate, but I am still definitely interested. Was it still on Tuesdays that you held class? If that is correct that might work perfectly for me as I am off work on tuesdays early and may be able to attend. Let me know.

I see your profile and am so interested in learning much from you. I was born and raised on O'ahu in Kalihi. I left for the mainland and was gone for 18 years. I just returned this past August and hope to stay home for good. I am a lomilomi practitioner, and I don't mean to say it in a boastful manner. Iwould just like to learn more of my culture especially oli, and olelo Hawai'i. I love my culture but have been away for so long that I feel I need to learn. Better late then never. I would like to keep in touch.

Mahalo,
