Not too many years ago, the late and beloved Auntie Elizabeth Lee (1929 – 2016) would frequently be found at Kings’ Shops and Queens’ MarketPlace, interacting with

visitors while teaching them how to make lovely Hawaiian bracelets from the dried leaves of the hala (pandanus) trees that can be found in several prominent locales around Waikoloa Beach Resort and Hawai`i Island. The craft of lauhala plaiting (the term is technically more accurate than “weaving”) is an ancient one in Hawai`i, and Auntie Elizabeth was one of the people most important to its survival into modern times.

In an interview shortly after Auntie’s passing this past August, Barbara Kossow, who was a friend of Auntie and assisted her in her later years, said: “(Lauhala plaiting) was a dying art. She wanted to revive the weaving and get people interested again. Auntie Elizabeth was very generous with her knowledge. She loved teaching people to weave lauhala and she opened up her teaching to everyone.”

MULTI-PURPOSE TREEGuests will spot the hala tree commonly at Waikoloa Beach Resort, where it was specifically planted to draw attention to its significance in the Hawaiian culture. Along Waikoloa Beach Drive near Waikoloa Bowl, for example, some magnificent hala trees are seen, and inside Waikoloa Bowl itself others stand in healthy splendor. At the Kings’ Golf Course, a large hala tree dominates the entranceway to the clubhouse and several are seen on the first and 18th holes of the Kings’ Course.

The trees can grow as high as 20 – 30 feet, and are easily identified by the tangled roots that shoot upward out of the ground. Found throughout the Pacific, it is speculated that the tree found its own way to the Hawaiian Islands, as the seeds float. The fronds have long, spiny-edged leaves, and the female tree produces a pineapple-looking fruit.

purposes, added as decorative lei adornment, and dried segments were used as a brush to paint on tapa. The wood of the tree was used as building support material and calabashes.

The woven leaves, lau, were used for many practical purposes, including canoe sails, wall thatching, roofing material, and floor mats. Guests can stand under the canopy of a tree today and see what an effective shelter the leaves make from the elements.

In plantation days, lauhala crafters made hats to shield workers from the sun, and baskets in which to carry coffee cherries and other crops. Every family had its weavers, and each weaver had a signature style. The knowledge and technique was passed from generation to generation, and the keiki would often start learning at an early age.

But as trade with the Western world picked up and new materials and goods such as leather and cloth were introduced to the islands, by the middle part of the 20th century, the art of lauhala plaiting — as were other important cultural traditions in Hawai`i such as hula and even the Hawaiian language — was dying out.

1) What flower is used in Waikoloa Beach Resort’s logo?

2) What year did Queens’ MarketPlace open?

3) Do you know who was the artist was for the Pueo (or Hawaiian Owl) sculpture at the Kings Shops?

4) What are the two names of the fishpond by ‘Anaeho‘omalu Bay?

5) What two trails run through Waikoloa Beach Resort?

6) Which famous LPGA star played in her first professional tournament at Waikoloa Golf Club?

A RENAISSANCE OF ARTThankfully, in the late 1980s and 1990s, a new pride in Hawaiian traditions arose, and with it a new emphasis on the arts and crafts. In 1993, Auntie Elizabeth was named a Living Treasure by the Office of Hawaiian Affairs for her contributions to weaving. (Auntie was also instrumental in resurrecting the art of weaving makaloa, a reed that grows along the seashore, but which no one had used in weaving in 200 years.)

In addition to bringing pleasure to innumerous guests and visitors at Waikoloa Beach Resort, Auntie’s influence can still be felt through the many students she taught — many of whom have become kumu (teachers) in their own right — and the group she cofounded in 1996, Ka Ulu Lauhala o Kona. The group sponsors an annual workshop in Kona in May.

Although the tools used in the craft have evolved, the techniques Auntie taught are very similar to what was practiced in early Hawai‘i. The dried and gathered leaves have their thorny edges removed, pieces are torn into thin strips and cleaned, and a careful process of intertwining begins. Only today, instead of sails and roof thatching, modern weavers craft hats, purses, baskets, and placemats, much of it

for collectors and an eager tourism market.“I love it,” Pohaku Kaho‘ohanohano, a

master weaver and teacher of the craft on Maui, told Maui No Ka Oi Magazine in a 2013 interview, “because it’s part of my culture. I’m doing what my ancestors did. This is survival for me. It’s in my blood.”

Auntie Elizabeth would wholeheartedly agree. “Take care of the knowledge,” she said to her students in her last days. She can rest assured it is in good hands.

2016 HAWAI‘I FOOD & WINE FESTIVALHot, Hot, HotterThe Hawai`i Food & Wine Festival (HFWF) returned to the Big Island on Saturday, October 22, with a signature event, “Hot Lava, Hotter Cuisine.” The dinner was held at Hilton Waikoloa Village in partnership with the Waikoloa Beach Resort and Waikoloa Beach Marriott.

This year's theme was “Hot Lava, Hotter Cuisine” and the presenting chefs — including both Hans Lentz of host Hilton Waikoloa Village and Jayson Kanekoa from the Waikoloa Beach Resort & Spa — lived up to the billing.

Kanekoa and Lentz were joined by some of the Mainland’s most talented culinary artists, including Nancy Silverton (Mozza, Los Angeles, CA), Hubert Keller (Fleur by Hubert Keller, Las Vegas, NV), Michelle Bernstein (Seagrape, Miami, FL), and Bruce Bromberg (Blue Ribbon Restaurants, New York, NY). Chef Tae-Hwan Ryu (Ryunique, Seoul, South Korea) showed off his considerable talents to diners' delight as well.

The addition of Chef Ryu from South Korea to this year’s lineup was telling, as it represented an expansion that the Festival had envisioned from the beginning. “From the very start, our vision for the Hawai`i Food & Wine Festival was to build a world-class food and wine festival,” said co-founder Roy Yamaguchi.

“It was also our vision to include world-class international chefs from Asia in our Festival — something that differentiates us from other festivals across the U.S. Being in the middle of

the Pacific, this just made sense. It was to bridge relationships between chefs from the East with the West.”

If the 2016 event at Waikoloa Beach Resort is any indication, Yamaguchi can consider his mission deliciously accomplished.
