Description<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kapa making is the vital cultural knowledge practice of creating and preparing kapa. Kapa is what is made to use for traditional clothing, (such as the malo and p\u0101\u02bb\u016b), blankets, flags, etc. Regarding the preparation, the bark of the wauke tree or the M\u0101maki tree is collected and made into strips. The strips made of the wauke are called h\u0101\u02bbana\u02bbana. The wet bark strips are then beaten with a kapa beating instrument called a kuku, on a block of wood called a kua, until it becomes kapa. When it is dried, it is dyed and stamped by the kapa maker. Hina is a deity associated with the practice of kapa making. There are many famous phrases that are about or reference kapa, such as \u201c\u02bbElua k\u0101ua i ke kapa ho\u02bbokahi,\u201d which poetically refers to a couple marrying and using one kapa between them. It is said that the snow is the blanket of Poli\u02bbahu as seen in this proverb: \u201cPoli\u02bbahu, ka wahine kapa hau anu o Mauna Kea.\u201d In the story of Keamalu, Keamalu is rolled over by a supernatural kapa beating instrument named Hakaio, in order to beautify her body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
