He ʻIke Pūʻawa Hiwa Holopali- Black

This Holopali features our He ʻIke Pūʻawa Hiwa print on Black material with Avocado ink. He ʻIke Pūʻawa Hiwa “‘Eli‘eli kūlana o Hāna.” Traditionally saying “‘Eli‘eli kūlana o Hāna” praises the depth of knowledge of its people. We honor the ‘ohana at Ala Kukui, Kāmoku, Hāna, for their hospitality and sharing their insights to place and practice, enlightening all that visit. The ‘awa hiwa thrives in the moist, shaded lands at Kāmoku, Hāna. Believing this variety promotes deep introspection may add another level to the understanding of the saying, “he ‘ike pū‘awa hiwa.” Interpreting this as “knowledge from ‘awa offering,” perhaps indicates the reason why it was the preferred choice of the kahuna. Ola ka ‘awa hiwa o Kāmoku!
