34 Ka Moʻolelo o PeleThis workshop is to discuss the mo’olelo of Pele and Poliahu and connect it to modern day life lessons that we could take away from them. The importance of our workshop is to continue sharing the mo’olelo of our ancestors, so the stories won't be forgotten. An example of knowledge to take away is that vengeance will not produce anything good. They will also learn why it is important to keep mo’olelo alive, back then, ma ka wā kahiko, telling stories was an important deal to our ancestors because itʻs what helped them understand how everything surrounding them worked.Telling moʻoleloʻs was a way for them to learn more about the gods like Kū, Kanaloa, Lono, Pele etc and it is the very reason why our ancestors were so strict on being respectful towards the land and to follow all of the rules that the aliʻiʻs made, telling stories was a way of documenting history, knowledge, facts and beliefs from generation to generation . Our activity is a video of the mo’olelo (acting out). At the end we will play a trivia game with the participants and they can get an ice cream and a red velvet cupcake.The ice cream represents poliahu because it is white and cold. The red velvet can represent Pele because it it red, which is the color pele is known for.

40 ʻUala Like Youʻve Never Seen It!This station will provide students with knowledge about the ʻuala plant and the various uses the plant posses. The station is vital for us to carry on our Hawaiian traditions throughout modern times and to preserve our culture. These independent topics connect to both the Hawaiian culture and history because the use of ʻuala and other types of hawaiian food have changed and evolved into more modern uses. In hawaiian culture ʻuala and other foods were cooked differently than modern times today which shows how we as Hawaiians have evolved in our cooking methods, creating new foods using the same/similar ingredients our kupunaʻs had before. We will be presenting the different uses by cooking sweet potato pie in a more modern fashion.

42 Lei Hulu! The best accessoryDuring our workshop we will be making flowers to wear using feathers. We believe the importance in our topic is to make known traditional art practices that have been done for a long time. It is not only about making cute accessories, but it’s also about learning how important feathers were to ali’i and how it symbolized great power. The knowledge you take away from our workshop is that certain colored feathers showed power of an individual, and it is also what separated the ali’i from the maka’ainana because these specific feathers were only used by ali’i. The activity in our workshop after making your own leihulu, you will be able to take it home and flaunt your new life long accessory that can be used everyday.

45 Grow and Grine!Using Hawaiian staples like kalo, ulu and ʻuala to create a plan to substitute foods like rice and mashed potatoes with a healthier alternative. Also, teach them how to make different dishes containing these staples. Eating these alternatives is part of the Hawaiian culture and can lower obesity rates for Hawaiians. With all the American foods being transported to Hawaii, not too many Hawaiians are familiar with eating ulu, ʻuala and kalo often. For the time being, since there are so many complicated dishes that can be made with the three staple foods, we wanted to teach how to make simple dessert dishes. Poi balls are healthier version of malasadas, ʻulu chips are healthier alternative to American potato chips and an ube smoothie is a healthier alternative to a strawberry or chocolate milkshake.

49 The Niu WayIn this nohona workshop we will be teaching the students nutritional values along with how the coconut was used in various ways throughout daily life. After we teach the students and inform them about the haupia making process they will make it on their own (our activity). We feel the importance is to show others how the coconut was one thing used for various different purposes but focus mainly on how it fed the people and how Haupia is one of the things that became a hawaiian dish with the help of the foreign influence. We want the students to be able to learn how to make it from scratch, meaning they will learn to crack and husk their own coconuts, hoping to use the contents of the coconut to use in the recipe. The kids would be husking the coconut, cracking, grading, straining, and mixing it to make the Haupia.

52 Poke our Kupuna EstablishedWhen Captain Cook arrived, our kūpuna already knew how to make poke but with all different ethnicities coming to Hawaiʻi it has drastically changed over time. How to make poke is very important because nowadays everything is taken for granted and the beauty in what our kūpuna used to do isnʻt appreciated. Being able to carry on the ways of our kūpuna will only further our culture and keep it alive. The activity that we will be teaching you, will be how to filet an ahi with the compliments of making poke the way our kūpuna used to and comparing it to the way you like to eat poke.

53 ʻOhe Kāpala, Bring in the ManaWe will have the participants carve ancient designs (of choice) onto a bamboo substitute material (which is soon and yet to be determined) and then use ink to stamp their product (pillowcase, shirt etc.) Teaching those who come, the significance of Hawaiian designs and the meanings of different designs, they will be able to create a design that is of significance and representation of themselves and print it. The importance of our project is to teach what ‘ohe kāpala is, how it is created, and what significance it has to the person who created it. By teaching those who come about ‘ohe kāpala we can keep Hawaiian cultural practices and knowledge alive. What we want them to take away is that the designs they create represent and symbolize both their personality and those who came before them while the pattern can be used to tell a story or represent a significant part in oneʻs life. Have a bunch of design examples and teach their meanings, have student create own design and print onto material.
