Makahiki is a traditional Hawaiian ceremony established by the ancestors many generations ago. The middle school classes reconstruct all the components of Makahiki in a PBL (project based learning) class culminating in presenting a Makahiki for the elementary students in our school and the families. The components of preparing for Makahiki are as follows: Group 1 uses a classroom and learns a legend which will be told at Makahiki. Group 2 uses the other classroom to learn four traditional games so they can be group leaders at the event. Group 3 makes the implements outdoors for the games. This would include, stripping the bark from the hau tree to make aho hau- traditional rope needed for the game pala'ie, or to shape guava branches into a moa for the game moa pahe'e, and several more implements. All students transition through the 3 groups so every student has the opportunity to learn each component. Working outside can be challenging due to the weather. It can be very hot and sunny one minute, then pouring rain the next. Often we need to postpone the most engaging part of this project, making the implements. Three canopies would shelter us from the weather enough that we could always include the hands on component of making the traditional implements. The entire middle school would greatly benefit from these 3 canopies.
