Uluponui: This is how we fertilize our loʻi at Ulupō. Nothing new, just the same way loʻi and māla been fertilized in Hawaiʻi for the last couple thousand years. ʻIke kūpuna | ʻike ʻōpio. Many hands make light work, many feet make sweet dirt. Mahalo iā ʻoe e @kanielalm for bringing down yo Punahou ʻōpio. #laukukui #juststepum #microbestakethewheel.

More images from our Saturday celebration of Lā Kūʻokoʻa at Ulupō in the piko of Kūkanono, Kailua. -- KdS Not their own name, if they have one, but it fits: Gonzo, Kaipo, Chad (Koʻolau Envy) and Kīhei. They were making music on Nick M's generator-rigged sound system that somehow came out of the ʻāina itself -- deep, rich, flavorful, and so reminiscent of that Sons' session at Waipiʻo as documented in "Liʻa." No kidding. -- KdS  Photo: Kīhei de Silva A native voice of Kailua, one born of the land. Dr. Noenoe Silva challenge-charms us into taking up the pathway of kūpuna enlightenment in our thinking and re-thinking of kūʻokoʻa for this ʻāina that we so love. Mahalo nui to Kaleo Wong, Maya Saffery, and their many helping hands for a most memorable and moving Kūʻokoʻa Kūkanono yesterday at Ulupōnui. -- KdS  Photo: Kīhei de Silva |
