HER BELOVED, HER HUSBAND HAS GONE.

To the Editor of the Kuokoa Newspaper, Aloha oe:—Please include in an open space of our favorite, the words placed above.

Being that when the angel of death entered and took the life breath of Mr. Kum Ing, the husband of our much beloved friend, Mrs. Kum Ing, at Honolulu.

Therefore, we, the members of the Ahahui Aloha o na Wahine o Hanalei, Kauai, through our committees, we join with you, oh mother who is left without a father, along with the children and family who carry the pain and sadness for your beloved husband, and father in that unfamiliar land, who has gone; with the constant hope that we have a great father beyond.

O Dear Father,
My precious Lord,
To You I go,
You are my blessing.

At the conclusion of this, all of us, your fellow laborers in the downpouring rain of Hanalei, give our great aloha for you and our children who are without a father, and the ohana as well; and it is God who will watch over us even as we live apart.

We, the

Bags to ship sugar to be woven of lauhala or akaakai? 1873.

Wanted.

Here is something that is much sought after by the producers of sugar. Bags that are woven with strips [ko-ana] of bulrush [akaakai] or lauahala perhaps, to put brown sugar [ko-paa eleele] in and ship to Australia or America. The previous week, a schooner brought 15,000 bags of this type from New Zealand, and the haole traders greatly appreciated them. The length of the bags are 33 inches, and 17 inches wide. If bags like these are woven here at a reasonable price, and a thousand are made, they will be sold out in a year. Continue reading

Hala exhibit coming to the Bishop Museum, 2015.

It seems that the Museum is having an exhibit on weaving starting the end of this week. Maybe go check it out if you are on Oahu.

The beauty and significance of hala is woven throughout our history and throughout this exhibit. In ancient times, the sails of voyaging canoes were plaited of hala, and utilitarian hala baskets and mats were commonplace. The introduction of foreign items that replaced Hawaiʻi-made mats and baskets encouraged weavers to further their creativity, leading to a distinctive and truly exquisite Hawaiian style of lau hala hats that are coveted and treasured as fine art.
