Since 2024 Hoʻomau Nā Maka o ka ʻĀina has collaborated with Kuaʻāina Ulu ʻAuamo (KUA) to present place-specific screenings during KUA’s Hui Mālama Loko Iʻa, an annual gathering of fishpond practitioners from 60 revitalization projects across the archipelago. Convening over the course of a few days at a host loko iʻa, practitioners work together to exchange knowledge and skills related to the management of fishponds. With support from the KUA team, Hoʻomau NMOKA edits a one hour program from newly digitized footage from the Ahupuaʻa Fishponds and Loʻi collection (1990) in advance of the gathering, with content relevant to the planned huakaʻi and host site. These edited programs compile stories from late kūpuna and kupaʻāina around specific fishpond practices and memories as well as documentation of particular wahi. On the culminating night of the annual gatherings, the videos are shared as small offerings in hopes that the 30 year old footage may provide some valuable insight into the change and continuity of places and communities.
