summary
The third volume in the Hawaiʻinuiākea series, ʻIke Ulana Lau Hala is an intriguing collection of articles and images about the Hawaiian tradition of ulana lau hala: the weaving, by hand, of dried Pandanus tectorius leaves. This text considers the hala leaf through several, very different lenses: an analysis of lau hala items in historic photographs from the Bishop Museum collections, the ecological history on hala and the serious challenges to its survival in Hawaiʻi and the Pacific, perspectives – in Hawaiian – of a native speaker from Niʻihau on master weavers and the relationship between teacher and learner, a review – also in Hawaiian – of references to lau hala in poetical sayings and idioms, a survey of lau hala in Hawaiian cultural heritage and the documentation project underway to share the art with a broader audience, and a conversation with a master artisan known for his distinct and intricate construction of the lei hala.
