In Hawaiʻi, #Makahiki is a four-month season of peace and celebration dedicated to the god Lono. During this time, it's common to say #Lonoikamakahiki to one another. Hawaiians celebrated Makahiki season with a harvest festival, feasting and giving thanks for the past year much like the American Thanksgiving. In gratitude, the Hawaiian would offer ho‘okupu (gifts) to Lono like fruits, vegetables, dogs, chickens, fish, and handmade crafts. These ho‘okupu were given with the hope that Lono would b

The rising of the constellation Makaliʻi (Pleiades) at sunset marks the beginning of the #Makahiki season in Hawaiʻi. It’s a time of peace, harvest, feasts, and games in honor of the god Lono, who was one of the four main Akua (gods) in Hawaiian culture. Makahiki ceremonies and games are still held across Hawaiʻi today, sometimes referred to as the “Hawaiian Olympics.” In this final installment of Nā Kama Kai Anywhere #AlohaFridays, Duane DeSoto and his two sons show us how to play Haka Moa (Chi

Our canoe Makaliʻi was born in the sacred season of Makahiki, when the Makaliʻi constellation rises in the east as the sun sets in the west—marking the turning of time, and the beginning of a new year. As we enter 2026, we remember the moʻolelo of Makaliʻi. This ancestral story tells of an aliʻi who greedily gathered all the food of the people into a great net and carried it to the highest realm, hanging it among the stars. Faced with hunger, the people came together in unity and from among them

The tradition of feeding Lono, is a vital part of Makahiki observances. During Makahiki, Lono is represented by the akua loa, a tall staff carved with his image at the top, and adorned with white kapa, feathers, and ferns. In wā kahiko, the akua loa traveled in a long procession around each moku, as chiefs and priests stopped at every altar to collect hoʻokupu. A smaller representation of Lono accompanied the akua loa on short journeys, traveling as far as the borders of its ahupuaʻa or the pers

It’s Makahiki time! The annual season of harvest, games and peace in Hawaiian culture. The traditional Hawaiian game, ulu maika, is a really fun version of outdoor bowling, using rounded stones and wooden posts. This family-friendly sport is usually pain-free, unless you’re a social media coordinator trying to get that perfect shot! #donttrythisathome #ulumaika #Makahiki #noonegothurt | Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park
