Collection: Nā Iʻa

Being an island people, Native Hawaiians rely on the ocean for many things, including food. Thankfully, Hawaiʻi’s coral reefs and surrounding waters are home to a wide diversity of marine life. This print was made in collaboration with Kahua ʻĀina and features many of our favorite reef fish, including ʻōmilu, uhu ʻahuʻula, uhu uliuli, āholehole, ʻāweoweo, kala, weke ʻā, nenue, ʻamaʻama, and kūmū! Each species is unique and requires different techniques to catch and prepare. These traditions are passed down in lawaiʻa (fishing) families throughout many generations.
