How do we KŪʻOKOʻA? By reestablishing a relationship with Hāloa through planting, preparing & EATING kalo.
This year a group of 12 Kailua-connected families have been coming to Ulupō to reroot themselves in their homeland by reviving the cultural practices associated with kalo in their ʻohana. Our Pili Mai families have (re)acquired the ʻono for our traditional foods and you can too.
Come down to the base of Ulupō heiau on Saturday, Dec 1st, 10-3, to partake in the ʻono of Kūkanono, Kailua, and nā Koʻolau by pounding your own kalo under our kuʻi tent with Kamuela Bannister, Kalamaʻehu Takahashi and our Pili Mai families. Aunty Tammy & Uncle Danny Smith of Hale Kealoha will also be there to satisfy your desire for some ʻai pono.
