Almost monster moi (not quite Hoʻokuaʻāina-size but getting there). According to Kaleo's calculations: 10.38 - 1.8 (for the bucket) = 8.58 - .4 (huli) = 8.18# moi. -- KdS

Wahi a Kaleo: Mahalo nui to our invasive species eradication team today from Kailua Elementary. The culmination of our 11-month Project Pilimai... a chance to witness, first hand, the results of four years of Hikaʻalani effort at Ulupō...a day to celebrate our quest for reclaiming ʻāina and identity in Kailua. Kūʻokoʻa, indeed. -- KdS  Project Pilimai began 10 months ago with over a dozen Kailua and Kailua-connected families. In that time of honoring and tending to Hāloa, we've had two babies, and our original newborn is now a toddler. When we old guys show up (Kīhei, Doc, Kaʻolu) we are literally a ʻpilimaiʻ -- three generations of Ulupō-nourished kānaka. -- KdS  Photo: Kaʻolu Luning "We were inspired to see @manuiwa of @uluponui share today on a panel with his Ko’olau colleagues @knahalea (right) @georgimaile, @jameemil, Megan Kaleipumehana (middle) and Brant Chillingworth at the Hawai’i Alliance of Nonprofit Associations Conference. He generously shared of his ‘āina with the audience, physically (yummy food from the land!) and by sharing Hika’alani’s visionary work. After, he told us he had just come from presenting at another conference with @kealaulili at UH! What will Ulupō be like in 2063?" -- HPF  Photo: Hawaiʻi People"s Fund |
