One of my favorite things to do is craft and make stuff. So here’s a ‘apu niu (Hawaiian coconut drinking vessel) I made with the UHWO Aloha ‘Āina Club for the ‘Apu & ‘Awa workshop-9/5/2026

@Kassidykamea@CM320Class Nice to know! One of family members also came to work here during that plantation times but he was able to finish his contract and moved back home @CM320Class
Another inspiration that makes up my art is sometimes identity and being 1st gen Filipino immigrant in Hawai‘I is something I think pride in. One of my fav filipino street food is called an Ilocos empanada.

@WS508746555398@CM320Class Went to the exhibit at the library that talks about this and I think the Hawaiian sovereignty movement shows a more bigger and fundamental sovereignty for Hawaiians to preserve their culture and land for kanaka and the lāhui.
