Moving forward by looking back - Mahi'ai Camp at Kumimi, Moloka'i
In October of 2022, nine parents (makua) and seven children (keiki) from four Hawaiian islands participated in the first Mahi'ai Camp on Moloka'i. Participants learned about traditional food sustainability practices, including planting kalo (taro) and working to restore a traditional Hawaiian fish pond (loko i'a).
Over a period of five days, individuals became like family ('ohana), working together, creating art together, and living together, learning from the stories of the past to prepare for the future.
