Cordage, known as “kaula” in Hawaiian culture, is fundamental to the art of survival, craftsmanship, and community in Hawai‘i. Historically, it was used for making tools, fishing nets, and constructing shelters. Cordage involved twisting and braiding fibers from native plants such as hala (pandanus), olona, and niu (coconut).

In Hawai‘i, cordage holds spiritual significance
and is infused with cultural practices. It represents interconnectedness within the community and between humans and nature. The process of making cordage was a communal activity that brought people together, preserving customs and knowledge through generations.

Today, cordage is embraced in Hawaiian art, enhancing cultural expressions and preserving heritage. Contemporary artists create intricate leis, woven items, and jewelry, utilizing traditional techniques and materials. Additionally, cordage appears in modern installations and sculptures, symbolizing the rich tapestry of Hawaiian history and the continuous bond with the environment.

In summary, cordage reflects the resilience, creativity, and unity of the Hawaiian people, weaving the past with the present in both functional and artistic expressions.

Happy Aloha Friday friends✨🌼
