Mamao Programs

Makahiki winners

The Mamao Program offers participants of all ages the opportunity to learn about the cultural practices of Puna, and to learn a little about the life of a Hawaiian Koa, or warrior. We encourage 'ohana to come and learn together, to strengthen one’s identity and connection to the 'ike of our kupuna. 

 

For this year (2024-2025), Ku'ialuaopunaʻs Mamao program presents the Huliau Huaka'i Series!  Come and join us! We are offering two types of workshops in this series.   Learn about the cultural evolution of Lua in a one hour educational session with 'Ōlohe Keani Kaleimamahu.  The second option offers you and your 'ohana the opportunity to physically, mentally, and spiritually engage in some introductory practices of Lua in a 2-day workshop (10yrs and up only).  

 

This Mamao program is sponsored by KS Kaiāulu

KS Kaiāulu shares a spectrum of resources and opportunities offered by Kamehameha Schools and its community partners that embrace keiki, ʻōpio, and ʻohana along their journey of life-long learning

Kīpaepae Workshop Series, where participants of all ages can engage in the preparation and protocols of setting the stone work or paepae of a Lua hale, explore the terminology and techniques of various lashings used in the hale, and participate in hands-on activities to gain a clearer understanding of the connections between this practice and the practice of a koa.

You will have the opportunity to learn moʻolelo, history, and practices with this unique opportunity to connect with our rich heritage and engage in meaningful cultural practices. We look forward to seeing you and your ʻohana at the workshops!
