On Kauai’s North Shore
At Limahuli Gardens we offer an aina-based summer program, Na Lauaʻe o Makana, that focuses on na mea koikoi/ waiwai (the important and famous things) to Halelea and particularly Haena. Students will learn about a range of things from mauka to makai in our Haena ahupuaa (watershed) such as: our native plant history and collection, hula and oli, loi kalo (taro farming), fishing and gathering practices, all specific to Halelea/ Haena. The purpose of this program is to give students first hand experience with our place-based practices in hopes that we will cultivate and inspire the next generation of practitioners.
