Would like to send a huge Mahalo to my sister @KanoeMalani for blessing us with our store's name. When @HumbleMokz began construction on it back in December of last year, when our store was just an oversized storage container on a concrete slab, we called it Pūʻai, since we treated it kind of like a Potluck. We put in together, we eat together. As time passed the store took on a different character and we decided to rename it. Really good names popped up and one was even given to us by a prominent Hawaiian artist, but none really stuck. Then Makau came about. Makau is a Hawaiian Fish Hook or it can also mean a skill or ability. There's so much meaning and symbolism in the name which I'll talk story about later, but for now we're just happy that The Makau Marketplace (@MakauMarket) is nearing it's public opening. #OurFirstStore #Hibred #WeAreHI #NativeLocals #AlohaʻĀina #Mehau #Colosseaux #AlohaForward (at Hawaiian Brians)
