Two ways Hawaiians observed Makahiki (Hawaiian new year)

As a daughter of Hawai’i, I am most honored to share the gifts and amazing products that our talented friends and family (‘ohana) have to share with our “mainland” cousins.  This is especially true during our first Makahiki season (Hawaiian new year) in Fallbrook at West Kaua’i Sun. Makahiki is a time for restoration, relaxation, and building relationships, ancient Hawaiians worked all year in preparation for the harvest season.
