Hawaiian History Month
Nā Maka o ka ʻāina
This Friday at 6pm at Native Books (located in Chinatown at 1164 Nuuanu Ave.) Hoʻomau Nā Maka o ka ʻĀina will present a screening of a selection of unedited tapes from the Oʻahu portion Hoʻomana collection.
Over the course of two years (1989-1990) Nā Maka o ka ʻĀina, with producer Nālani Minton, gathered oral histories focusing on Hawaiian aquaculture/agriculture practices. By the end of their journey, Joan Lander and Puhipau had recorded over 86 hours of footage, known today as the Hoʻomana collection. Eventually, this invaluable content was edited down to a 90-minute documentary program called Ahupuaʻa, Fishponds and Loʻi (1992). For the last three years Hoʻomau Nā Maka o ka ʻĀina has cataloged and digitized transcripts and tapes from the collection, depicting Kānaka systems of land use and resource management across six of the major Hawaiian Islands—Oʻahu, Lāna‘i, Maui, Molokaʻi, Hawai‘i, and Kaua‘i
To honor the fundamental knowledge and practices contained within the Hoʻomana collection, Hoʻomau Nā Maka o ka ʻĀina has organized an ongoing exhibition and screening series. Ahupuaʻa, Fishponds and Loʻi: Oʻahu features kūpuna, kupaʻāina, and makaʻāinana speaking about loʻi kalo, loko iʻa, and storied places in various ahupuaʻa on the island of Oʻahu. Through their individual and collective stories we come to understand more fully, the backbone of mālama ʻāina and aloha ʻāina today.
