Kalua IV stands in her spiritual garden, rich with legends and history, situated in the middle of the coffee farm, where she tends to her taro and other food and medicinal plants. 

This was something she did with her Tutu Charles Mokuhali`i when she was a youngster. They worked in their coffee farm and taro patch at their Papa Homestead coffee farm in South Kona. 

Here, legends come alive as she listens to the voices of the past, reminding her of her responsibilities and the significance of her genealogy.  She LISTENS to the chants of her Mama Keaupuni, who guides her and watches while she gives thanks to Ke Akua for the continuity of life and the deep appreciation for this aina in Ka'u(The BREAST) that nourishes the plants and our spirits. 

It is the same gift our Ali`i Ohana respected in their everyday practices hundreds of years ago in this Ahupua`a of Wailau.  Aloha ke Akua.

Elepoki Dances

Our mo`opuna Elepoki dances to the chants of her Tutu Keaupuni and gives thanks to ke Akua for the gifts received from this wonderful aina. 

Mahalo ke Akua 

Our lives are impacted by our culture, heritage, and values taught us by our kupuna as we live in harmony with our aina.  Listen with respect when the aina speaks, we have no choice.
