Matt Holton | Unlocking the Secrets of Poi with Ranger Keoni: A Deep Dive into Hawaiian Traditions @Mauirunner | Uploaded September 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Join me, Matt, as I venture into the enriching heart of Hawaiian culture in the Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park where I had the honor to learn the traditional method of creating poi, a staple and a beloved dish in Hawaiian cuisine, straight from the expert guidance of Ranger Keoni.
In this over 19-minute exploration, immerse yourself with me in the sacred process of poi creation, originating from the nurturing root of the kalo plant. Witness as the roots undergo a transformation through cooking and kuʻi (pounding), evolving into the hearty dish revered in Hawaiian households.
Ranger Keoni generously shares not just the art of kuʻi kalo but weaves in the rich narratives of ʻohana (family) connections to the fertile grounds of Waipiʻo Valley, a place where kalo is not just grown but cherished and nurtured by local families, binding the community with threads of tradition and unity.
This extraordinary experience is a part of the ‘Ike Hana Noʻeau (Experience the Skillful Work) Hawaiian cultural programs, a wonderful initiative that preserves and promotes the rich cultural heritage of Hawai‘i, co-sponsored by Hawai‘i Pacific Parks Association and the Friends of Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park.
