“A awe o lehulehu lei ulana pū ia ho‘onui ikaika nui alaila ʻekahi awe ia lei.”
A strand of many lei woven together is more powerful than one strand of lei.

Rembering the Mo'o:
A 4-Week Journey
June 14, 28 & July 5, 12
4:00pm - 5:00pm
In Hawaiian culture, moʻokūʻauhau (genealogy) is far more than a list of names or a static family tree. The word itself holds profound meaning: moʻo (a succession, a story, or a lizard whose spine represents connected segments) and kūʻauhau (to recite lineage).
It represents a living bridge connecting the past, present, and future—anchoring your identity and defining your kuleana (responsibility) to your community and the land.
This 4-week course guides you through researching, structuring, and writing your own moʻokūʻauhau using traditional Hawaiian formats. Whether you have Native Hawaiian ancestry or simply want to format your own family lineage using this profound, place-based framework, this course will help you honor your roots.
Papa Kāhili Pa'a Lima
Workshop
Kāhili Pa’a Lima honors traditional practices while utilizing accessible modern materials for the contemporary practitioner.
A kāhili is a feather standard representing royalty, and paʻa lima means "held in the hand." Unlike the massive, towering kāhili used in courtly processions, the paʻa lima style is a smaller, intimate scepter traditionally carried by aliʻi (chiefs), especially noblewomen, to signify their presence, lineage, and personal mana (spiritual power).
Participants will learn how to prepare feathers, bundle them using traditional geometry, lash them to a central core, and assemble a complete, beautiful piece of living history.
Date: Saturday, June 27, 2026, 10am - 2:00pm
Location: 3602 Wiggins RD SE, Olympia, WA 98501
