Tonight’s project complete. Still practicing my kōkōpuʻupuʻu. Still refining. This kōkō is set to be a makana. 🫰🏽🥰 now to rest my fingers. 😂

A beautifully done short film that shows a more accurate history of Hawaiʻi in a way that many, including our keiki, can understand. I may have gotten misty eyed at the end. 😭 The Queen’s Flowers. E ola ka lāhui ʻo Hawaiʻi. #hawaii #pasifika #ehuiananamoku vimeo.com/894719720
