Makahiki-Lono-Cover
As part of last year’s Makahiki celebration, members of the Hikiau ʻOhana,
a group of cultural practitioners from South Kona, Hawaiʻi Island, gathered
at Hale o Keawe at Puʻuhonua o Hōnaunau to offer hoʻokupu to the seven
akua Lono. This was the third of five ceremonies they conducted to open the Makahiki season. (L-R) Kēhau Frietas, Kanani Enos, Kēliko Enos-Cruz, Shane
