Sample different iʻa varieties of kalo at our kuʻi kalo station
Kalo, as a physical and cultural staple in Hawaiʻi, connects us to the very foundation of our existence as Hawaiian people. We are descendants of the first kalo (Hāloanakalaukapalili) in the Kumulipo, rooting our familial kuleana to care for our elder sibling. This continued stewardship of aloha is reciprocated through the health and well being of our people by the harvesting, eating, and replanting of kalo across generations. Cultural practices of making poi is the lifeline to our ancestors– and by learning and pounding your own poi, you are helping to connect deeper to culture and also your family. With the help of Adam Hanohano, we will be showcasing multiple iʻa varieties of kalo at our kuʻi kalo station for all guests to learn about history, traditional implements, and nurturing the pulse that stems directly to our relationship with the land and sea.
