This exhibition is now closed. However, Hoʻomau Nā Maka o ka ʻĀinaʻs resource desk of searchable transcripts and digitized tapes are still accessible on the 2nd floor of Native Books and The Living Library at KEY Project.

The work continues as Hoʻomau Nā Maka o ka ʻĀina, a partnership between Puʻuhonua Society and Nā Maka o ka ʻĀina, breathes new life and makes publicly accessible the invaluable ʻike kūpuna housed in their collection. After three years of digitizing materials associated with NMOKAʻs 1992 film Ahupuaʻa, Fishponds and Lo’i, Hoʻomau Nā Maka o ka ʻĀina has organized an ongoing exhibition and screening series presenting unseen video and transcripts. Ahupuaʻa, Fishponds and Loʻi: Oʻahu features kūpuna, kupaʻāina, and makaʻāinana speaking about loʻi kalo, loko iʻa, and storied places in various ahupuaʻa on the island of Oʻahu.
