Sustainability Fair At Kamehameha Iki Park
|
September 07, 2011 | 02:43 PM Saturday (Sept. 10), 12-6pm, Kamehameha Iki Park (525 Front St., Lahaina); free
The Kapuka`ulua Ohana hosts their fifth Hawaiian Heritage and Environmental Sustainability Ho`ike`ike—a sweet, grassroots fair that focuses on, well, everything their name professes! Held at a different locale with every installment, Saturday's festivities honor Hui O Wa`a Kaulua, an organization established in 1975 to support the construction of wa`a kaulua (double hull canoe), and their 42-foot vessel Mo`olele, which for decades has been used as a "floating classroom" and showcases a traditional crab claw sail, as well as their 62-foot Mo`ohika O Piilani, a vessel currently under construction, that when completed will journey from Hawaii to Tahiti. The event's festivities include speakers like Auntie Atete (1pm), Auntie Mahealani (1:30pm), Michael J. Murphy (1:45pm), Elle Cochran (3pm) and the Royal Hawaiian Guard (4pm), plus an aquaponics roundtable (2pm). Be sure to bring your seaside dancing slippahz for a lively performance by The Eazy and come prepared to learn from on-site organizations including Maui Forest Bird Recovery Project, Sierra Club, Surfrider Foundation, and Styrophobia. 264-7691; kapukaulua@gmail.com
