This circular calendar offers a
Hawaiian perspective on the flow
of time. Its design reflects the
relationships among the spiritual,
natural, and human realms. In Ha-
waiian culture, the mahina (moon)
is an embodiment of the goddess
Hina. Our kupuna (ancestors) used
the phases of the mahina as a guide
to sustain life and maintain balance
in the environment.
Today, many people continue to
rely on traditional Hawaiian knowl-
edge as a guide for daily activities,
including fishing and farming.
How do the moon cycles affect
you, your family and your environ-
ment?
