THE VISION
restoring ea
AN ABUNDANT FOOD-SHED
Nā Loko Iʻa "Hawaiian Fishponds", were built to be living refrigerators for the people who once lived solely from the land. These fishponds were meant to produce food and that is exactly what we plan to restore and improve. |
A CONNECTION TO ʻĀINA
Since 2011, Loko ea has conducted educational programs to over 15,000 local students and has worked to assist the broader community to reconnect to their cultural identity through their connections to the ʻāina at Loko ea. |
A PLACE FOR THE PEOPLE
Loko ea fishpond is a sacred space. A sacred space for the community of pae ʻāina o Hawaiʻi. A space for practicing our culture and gathering together. A space to learn, to think, to celebrate, to plan, to eat, to replenish ourselves. A place to protect. But mostly Loko ea is place to aloha kekahi i kekahi. |
Waialua, ʻāina ku pālua i ka laʻi
"Waialua, land that stands doubly beclaimed."
Said in admiration for Waialua, Oʻahu where the weather was usually pleasant and the life of the people tranquil.
