OVERVIEW |
|
| |
|
|
| |
A living
Hawaiian cultural learning and science
center. Collections include native Hawaiian
plants; varieties of taro, banana, ti;
native Hawaiian tools. 4-hour guided visits
with hands-on learning activities for
children including taro planting, lau hala
weaving, poi pounding, traditional fishing
techniques and survival skills. Advance
reservations required.
In an area of Wai'anae once known as the
"poi bowl" of Oahu, family
lo'i
(taro fields) are worked at Ka'ala Farms;
part of a cultural learning center where
kalo
(taro) farming methods are taught to school
children and families as part of a community
development program. The upper watershed is
used mainly by pig hunters and by
halau
hula to
gather materials for dances and ceremonies.
The coastal plain area is used by produce
farmers and dairy farmers although housing
often replaces these farms, especially along
the coastline. |
