HĀLOA
• The second birth was a
child named Hāloa in
honor of his elder brother.

healthy and is believed to
be the first kanaka maoli, or
Hawaiian man.
• Hāloa means long breath

• It is also important to

ʻohana(family) comes
from the kalo plant itself.
The corm of the kalo is
called the ʻohā.

is considered

gestures.
