Makaukau! Are you ready?
There are many different ways of preparing lauhala before weaving. In this informative and humorous video, Mei Lin shares some ways of lau preparations that she learned from her kumus.
Mary Kawena Pukui documented this saying in her book, 'Olelo No'eau: Hawaiian Proverbs and Poetical Sayings, 'A 'ohe pau ka ike i ka halau ho'okahi-Not all knowledge is learned in one school. Even though, learning thru video has its limitations and is no match to the intimate relationship of a one to one sharing with an experienced kupuna weaver, it is my hope that this video will give you, the viewer, an appreciation of the work that goes into preparing leaves for weaving. And if by chance it peaks your interest in learning more, I urge you to seek out someone who is willing to share this beautiful art. E ola mau i ka puhala...Forever live the puhala!
This video was shot and edited on the East side of the Big Island of Hawaii by Adam Palumbo. The music was used with kind permission from award winning slack key artist, John Keawe. This video was produced by Mei Lin Wong-Gary
