This past week we had the opportunity to attend a cultural workshop at Kaiwakiloumoku, which is our Hawaiian cultural center here at the Kamehameha Schools. We learned about various activities that our ancestors competed in as well as the significance each one brings to real life actions. Traditional and modernized foods were present and added to the festivities. One game that was brand new to me this year was noʻa. It basically is a "find the hidden kukui nut" kind of game where your team hides your hands under a piece of kapa. Then you folks but hide the nut in one of your hands. When time is up you must take your hands out from under the kapa and the opponent team must choose the correct hand that your team has it in. It was a great game and our team loved it! We played it six times and had a blast. That day was an amazing experience that has helped strengthen and bring my knowledge about my Hawaiian culture to a new level.
