The Great Māhele
2017-09-12 17:30 - 18:30 (Pacific/Honolulu) | Kailua-Kona Public Library, 75-138 Hualalai Rd, Kailua-Kona, HI, 96740, United States
The event known as Ka Māhele covers a ten-year period in the reign of Kamehameha III, when the King attempted to divide all the land in the islands among himself and 252 of the high-born Ali’i, the chiefs of old. Kamehameha was a forward-thinking ruler who sought to bring his kingdom into the modern, 19th-century world. Join us as we examine the Hawaiian system of land tenure before Ka Māhele, explore the reasons behind this major paradigm shift in Hawaiian culture, and take a look at whether or not the monumental effort was successful.

Hawaiian slingshot workshop #1 of 3

Note: the location of this workshop will be announced prior to the Sept 9th date. Be sure to provide good contact information when signing up for this. Space is limited, so if you are interested, don't delay in signing up! Dates of each workshop is Sept. 9, 23 and 30 from 9:00 am – 5:00 pm.
The Hawaiian Arts Program at Molokai Arts Center, with support from Hawaii Tourism Authority and Hawaii People’s Fund, will be hosting a series of workshops this month on the making and skills of ma’a, or the “Hawaiian slingshot.” The ma’a was the long range weapon of choice in ancient Hawaii, being easily portable and renewable, as well as accurate and effective. While relatively simple in concept, the ma’a requires some special skills to make and much practice to master. Hawaiian weapons maker Kini Burke will be the instructor. All Hawaiian Arts Classes are free of charge, but space is very limited, so register early. To register, contact molokainuiahina@gmail.com.
The first workshop in this series of three, will be on the making of the ma’a itself on Saturday, September 9th from 9am to 5pm. The second will be on Saturday, September 23, focusing on the making of ma’a pohaku, or sling stones. The third will be on Saturday, September 30 on the use and practice of ma’a. The location of the workshops will be confirmed upon being registered.
The Hawaiian Arts Program is in its pilot year, and is focusing on fostering, teaching and preserving traditional and emerging Native Hawaiian art forms, and doing so in a Native Hawaiian way. This program has been generously supported by the Hawaiian Tourism Authority, Hawaii People’s Fund and private donations. Past workshops have included a tools and weapons talk story, a workshop on making niho oki, a cutting tool, and ‘upena, or net making. There will be a lot more to come, so stay tuned!

Controlling Little Fire Ants with Franny Brewer, BIISC
This class will train residents to combat the LFA together with neighbors on adjacent properties, increasing the treatments’ efficacy while decreasing the cost per residence, without demanding constant, direct involvement by experts.
Bio: Franny Brewer is the Communications Director for the Big Island Invasive Species Committee. BIISC is a grant-funded project of the Pacific Cooperative Studies Unit of the Research Corp of UH. They take the research on invasive species control generated by University researchers and partners and apply it to control the spread of harmful introduced species. BIISC teams are involved in a diversity of projects, including early detection of Rapid Ohia Death, nursery endorsements to encourage nurseries to discontinue growing and selling invasive plants, and eradication efforts for early invaders. We want to empower residents to respond to invasive species threats in their own communities, and since 2015 we have trained nearly 1500 Big Islanders in control of albizia and little fire ants. http://www.biisc.org
