I had the privilege of going to Kahoʻolawe with the Protect Kahoʻolawe ʻOhana last March. During our stay we camped at their site at Hakioawa. “Hakioawa Stream-bed” depicts one of two streambeds that meet the ocean at Hakioawa bay. I made this kapa specifically to be dyed in the dirt of Kahoʻolawe. A cross section of a Kiawe branch was used to print the streambed with dye from the Kukui tree. The Kiawe and the Kukui together resemble the strength and hope on Kahoʻolawe tha
