Pōhaku Kuʻi ʻai and Kalo
Kalo (taro) is one of the most significant plants in Kānaka ʻŌiwi culture because Kalo is thought of as a literal ancestor to kānaka. The moʻolelo o Hāloa tells of the Akua Wākea (said to be of the father of the sky) and the Akua Hoʻohōkūkalani (meaning “to star the sky”) had a stillborn child named Hāloanaka.
