[Wet thumping sound]
(Ranger) Poi is the staple food
of the indigenous people of Hawaiʻi
and kuʻi kalo is a process of making poi from cooked taro root.
For Native Hawaiians as they eat poi,
they are reminded of their older brother, Hāloanakalaukapalili,
who through our cosmology story, fed us and continues to feed us today.
We need more people to perpetuate and learn how to kuʻi kalo so that we can
keep this important practice alive.
Aloha, I'm Ranger Sean.
Aloha, my name is Hayden Konanui-Tucker.
Join us as we learn the traditional method of making poi.
