Restoration through Food and Fellowship at Waipa, Kaua'i

摘要

In the Waipa valley, on the northern shore of Kaua'i, Hawaii, community members gather to practice "malama aina" or deep love and stewardship of the land. As one youth told me "We have love for this 'aina. It is special because there are not that many places left for us. And we need to take care of our kupuna (elders) by protecting this land." Here, the relationship between restoring land and restoring culture is not only visible but celebrated.
