In partnership with @808urban, we proudly present: LIVING LEGACY SERIES Over the past week, we learned about East #maui and shared in art making with the the community.

Collab by @hoven.s and the many hands that have graced these walls with their mana. #Repost @lanaijuniorboard with @repostapp. ・・・ "The whales stay close to Maui to breed. When the whales breach and look up to the sky it's called 'spy-hopping'. The whale song is the same coming here but when they leave, the song is a little longer. The symbolic reason is because they learn where they come from in the song coming over and going back the baby calves add where they fit in."

#Repost @lanaijuniorboard with @repostapp. ・・・ "Aloha. I'm Francine Mapuana Kekahuna Aarona. This wall is so important. It tells of our culture and our heritage. It's important for our ʻōpio and our keiki to carry forward our legacy and to know where we're from. Every community has a legacy, this is ours. This is our heritage for Pāʻia, for Maui, for Hawaiʻi. "The wall represents many legends of Maui and as legends go there are many faces of Hina...for our people Kū represents the male and Hina represents the female. These are stories we need to remember. Our ʻōpio need to mālama the things of old as they grow forward into what's new. There's plenty of distractions today and its so easy to forget where you're from. We should always remember. We should never forget." --Aunty "Mopsy," kamaʻāina of Pāʻia, born and raised, or as Aunty says: "this is where I live." #808Urban #livinglegacyseries #artkiiology #Paia #powwowschoolofart #maui #mural #hina #moon #goddess (at Paia, Hawaii)
