Kathy: WELCOME BACK TO
"LIVING 808."
THE PA'I FOUNDATION IS ALL ABOUT
PRESERVING TRADITIONS.
AND TEACHING THEM TO FUTURE
GENERATIONS.
THEY'VE GOT CULTURAL
DEMONSTRATIONS EVERY MONTH, AND
HERE TO TELL US ABOUT THEM,
VICKY HOLT TAKAMINE, EXECUTIVE
DIRECTOR OF THE FOUNDATION, AND
DALANI TANAHY, WHO IS HERE TO
DEMONSTRATE THE KAPA MAKING,
WHICH IS GOING TO BE HAPPENING
AT SALT KAKAAKO.
TELL US ABOUT THAT REAL QUICK.
AND WE'LL TALK MORE ABOUT IT IN
A MINUTE.
OKAY.
KAPA IS ONE OF THE ARTS THAT WAS
LOST FOR A LITTLE WHILE.
AND CAME BACK ABOUT 60 YEARS
AGO.
IT'S MAKING A A BIG COMEBACK WITH
MANAOLA'S CREATION AND MAIKA AND
ALL OF HIS THINGS.
GREAT TO SEE IT COMING BACK AND
PART OF THAT IS BEING ABLE TO
TEACH IT TO MORE PEOPLE.
Kathy: AND SO THIS IS --
PAPER MULBERRY TREE THAT CAME
HERE WITH THE EARLY POLYNESIANS
AND THEY PLANTED IT.
WE ALSO USE ULU OR BREADFRUIT.
AND IN AFRICA THEY USE BANYAN.
THERE'S A FEW DIFFERENT TREES
Kathy: THIS IS WHAT YOU'LL
WE TEACH A CLASS AND PEOPLE
LEARNING THE PROCESS.
Kathy: TERRIFIC.
DON'T LET ME STOP YOU BUT I'M
GOING TO TALK STORY WITH VICKY.

NEXT GENERATION.

Kathy: IT'S AMAZING WHAT
YOU DO.
HOW DID THAT COME ABOUT?
IT'S ALWAYS BEEN A VISION OF
OURS TO HAVE OUR OWN SPACE AND
HAVE A SPACE THAT WE COULD
CONTINUE TO HELP.
UNLESS YOU HAVE YOUR OWN SPACE
HAVE NO PLACE TO LIVE.
HAVE TO HAVE OUR OWN HOUSE TO DO
OUR ACTIVITIES.
WE'VE BEEN -- WE WERE HOMELESS
ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS AND RENTING
FROM OTHER PEOPLE AND JUST NOT
HAVING OUR OPEN SPACE.
ONCE WE GOT FUNDING TO LEASE OUT
OUR OWN SPACE FOR THE LAST --
SINCE 2006, WE'VE BEEN A GRANTEE
FOUNDATION.
GAVE US SOME REAL STABILIZATION.
OUR ORDER IS IN ORDER FOR US TO
GROW.
WE'RE HOPING TO INCUE BAIT SOME
OTHER NONPROFITS.
Kathy: THAT'S SOMETHING
YOU'VE BEEN DOING FOR SO LONG.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT WHERE WE ARE AT

AND REACTION TO NOT JUST HOW BIG
THINGS HAVE BECOME THAT YOU'VE
CREATED BUT THAT'S GOING ON IN
THE HONOL HAWAIIAN COMMUNITY?
AND YOU AND I KNOW WE STARTED

OUR DREAMS AND ASPIRATIONS.
WE HAVE THIS PARALLEL PATH OF
HELPING TO REVITALIZE OUR
ENATES -- NATIVE HAWAIIAN

ENVIRONMENT.
HOW DO WE TAKE CARE OF OUR
RESOURCES.
IF WE DON'T HAVE LAND, TO GROW
OUR -- THE RESOURCES WE HAVE.
