THE LAST ʻŌPELU MAN

A Living Hawaiian Tradition

Kūhiō Day March 26
⏰ 10:00am – 12:00pm
📍 Umekes Catering Kitchen (next to Dizzles)



Join us for a special hands-on cultural workshop with Chucky Leslie, sharing the art of traditional Hawaiian fishing net making — a practice that is slowly fading.

For the Keiki:

• Learn how to hand-tie traditional fishing nets
• Talk story about ʻŌpelu fishing and old Hawaiʻi
• Understand ocean kuleana
• Make and take home your own hand-netted float



⚠️ LIMITED SPOTS AVAILABLE
(Small group so every keiki gets real hands-on time)



Calling All Kūpuna & Cultural Practitioners

If you have knowledge of net making, fishing, or Hawaiian practices and would like to kōkua and teach, we welcome you.

With more help, we can open more spots for our keiki.

📞 RSVP / Contact: 808-333-7380



Come learn. Talk story. Kaukau.
Let’s keep our traditions alive.

Introducing our support for Humanity Hale. A non-profit dedicated to building bright futures for our island ʻōpio and keiki.
Aloha nui loa!

At Keiki O Da 'Aina, we are committed to perpetuating our Hawaiian culture and supporting the island Keiki. We do this by sharing with our 'ohana, the traditions of our beautiful 'āina, and lifestyles that support their dreams and talents for a bright future. Like us, Humanity Hale, works tirelessly to uplift those who need it most.

About Humanity Hale
Humanity Hale was created in 2019 as a safe haven for Hawai’i Island ʻōpio who have experienced or are experiencing trauma, and at-promise youth. Driven by their aloha of the children and youth, community mentors who implement programming have also provided their time, knowledge, and skills free of charge. All of our programs are staffed by trained volunteers and mentors, including Hawaiian cultural practitioners, social workers, licensed clinical therapists, and others who have a deep investment in our youth. This includes kūpuna so that intergenerational education is perpetuated. Both the youth and kūpuna co-create activities that allow for traditional knowledge sharing on systems, practices and beliefs and provide youth with a sense of place, tradition, and community.
