Reclaiming Hawaiian cultural identity and Mauli ola (wellbeing) through Hana Kapa can be achieved through the place and space of Hawaiian cultural practices. This research will explore the ancient wisdom and traditions of the practice of kapa making. In achieving cultural reclamation, the importance of learning directly through an indigenous lens will empower the Hawaiian woman as she learns and teaches the practice of kapa. Using kānaka ʻōiwi (Indigenous Hawaiian) methodologies of moʻolelo (stories) and metaphors of the indigenous people’s point of view, a deeper understanding of these practices will be gained. For more than two hundred years, the living resources of kapa (bark cloth) making, have all but died. With the death of the authentic kapa practitioners, knowledge of producing the finest kapa, the significance of cultural traditions, and the importance of rituals have been asleep. Kapa played an important role in the everyday life of the Hawaiian people. Pre-contact, kapa was a significant utilitarian commodity for clothing, bedding, wrapping of iwi kūpuna, ceremonies, rituals, and healing. This research will explore the significance of the Hawaiian cultural practice of kapa in the broader socio-political context of global indigenous and native cultural reclamation. It has a 6 specific focus on women’s reclamation of kapa and the multi-generational potential for teaching and learning of this practice, intersections of gender, cultural identity, and well-being.
