This week we will be going again to the kalo farm to practice the techniques of farming and so that we can make the techniques concrete and so we can create our own farm possibly in our homes. Me and Kainoa have learned so much from him already and hope to learn more every time we go. Kainoa has already begun to create his own setup in his backyard and is trying to live sustainable.
I will be going to his house and learning how to start cultivating the land and learning how to live like our ancestors. I believe that by doing this I can learn and find the meaning of what it is to be Hawaiian and how to be kanaka maoli. I hope that by doing this I can learn more about my culture and learn more about who I want to be and what I want to do with my life. This week we will be visiting again and try to learn more about what it is he does for the community. We are learning a lot about what it means to be kanaka and how to make the kalo thrive. We are learning more traditionals ways on how to make the loʻi by using modern tools and reasources. Going to the farm made me appreciate and realize how hard these farmers work to make the kalo.
Going to the farm showed me how the ancient Hawaiians diverted the water from a stream in order to create a natural watering system for plants that need a lot of water. The kalo farm gives back to the community bu physically giveing out food grown by them. The farm produces kalo, kulolo, paʻi ʻai, laulau, and other products. |
