The Hukilauh at Hukilauh

Last week for Laie Days we got in on some Hawaiian traditions that were really cool. It was fun to learn a little about the culture and background of Laie. One event was called Hukilauh at Hikilauh, it was where the fishermen thru out the nets close to shore and then everyone helped when they brought them in, they pulled out all the fish from the nets and then everyone helped clean all the seaweed from the nets so they could be neatly rolled back up and stored away. It didn't take too long with all the hands picking the seaweed and it was really fun to see such a cool tradition.
