Due:
Making a yarn lei wit just our hands
Aloha mai e nā haumāna,
Do you remember making yarn lei from the beginning of the school year? If not, or you were not here during that time, ʻaʻole pilikia (no worries). I have posted a link to a youtube video below to walk you through the steps. If you do not have yarn any string will do. I have even used an old shirt, which was going to be thrown away. With that being said, make sure to get your parents permission prior to cutting anything. The trick is to try to make the strips as long as possible. If the length is too short just tie on another piece. After you finish please take a picture of the lei you created and send it to me in email or share if using any of the google apps. Also, you do not need two strands of cordage/yarn to do this, one is just fine.
Mahalo a mālama (thank you and take care),

Assignment
Kalo - Colocasia esculenta. Also called taro.
Kalo was and still is a staple food for Native Hawaiians.
Ka moʻolelo o ke kalo (The Story of the kalo)
In ancient Hawaiʻi, long before Kamehameha the Great, there lived two akua (god/s). The akua kāne (male god), was named Wākea and the akua wahine (female god), was named Hoʻohōkūkalani. Together Hoʻohōkūkalani and Wākea had a son, which they named Hāloanakalaukapalili. Sadly, Hoʻohōkūkalaniʻs hiapo (first born child) was stillborn. They buried Hāloanakalaukapalili in the eastern most part of their hale (house) along the wall. Hoʻohōkūkalani, was filled with grief, and wept over the burial site of her son drenching it in her tears. From her tears on the burial site grew the first kalo (taro) plant. After some time, Hoʻohōkūkalani became pregnant again. She had given birth to a second son. For which, she had decided to name him, Hāloa (was the first Kanaka Maoli or Hawaiian), in honor of his older brother. Hāloa was taught to mālama (care for) his older brother and in return his older brother would provide him with mea ʻai (food).
This practice between siblings to mālama each other is still very prevalent in modern Hawaiian culture.
In the link below is a video containing some knowledge about Hāloa.
