This chapter describes the planning of Beneš to establish a separate Czechoslovak high command, where Czechoslovakia should be liberated from the Nazi yoke. In talks with high Soviet functionaries, including Stalin and Molotov, Beneš revealed aspects of his thinking which he had managed to keep hidden from the British and American politicians. Beneš avoided everything that contradicted his belief in the need for the appearance of flawless relations with Moscow, including the reports from Nemec and Hala. The elimination of the Agrarian Party favored Beneš and the socialist bloc, in which the Communists were prominent.Less

The weaving of lauhala represents a living tradition borne on the great arc of Pacific voyaging history. This thriving tradition is made immediate by masters of the art who transmit their knowledge to those who are similarly devoted to, and delighted by, the smoothness, softness, and that particular warm fragrance of a woven lauhala treasure. This, the third volume in the Hawaiʻinuiākea series, is an intriguing collection of articles and images about the Hawaiian tradition of ulanalauhala: the weaving, by hand, of driedPandanus tectorius leaves. The book considers the humble hala leaf through several, very different lenses: an analysis of lauhala items that occur in historic photographs from the Bishop Museum collections; the ecological history on hala in Hawaiʻi and the Pacific including serious challenges to its survival and strategies to prevent its extinction; perspectives—in Hawaiian—of a native speaker from Niʻihau on master weavers and the relationship between teacher and learner; a review—also in Hawaiian—of references to lauhala in poetical sayings and idioms; a survey of lauhala in Hawaiian cultural heritage and the documentation project underway to share the art with a broader audience; and a conversation with a master artisan known for his distinct and intricate construction of the lei hala.Less

This chapter presents a poem entitled “The Lauhala Mat” Jenna Robinson, which was written and presented at the spring 2012 graduation ceremony at the University of Hawaii at Mānoa. The weaving of a lauhala mat reflects the sum of the author's experiences as a university student. She believes that all of us are unique leaves, growing and weaving together. With each day we become more intertwined, more invested in each other's future even as our collective purpose as a community is apparent. Our individual talents and beauty contribute to the strength of the mat that in turn supports us as individuals. She also wants this poem to highlight the beauty of Hawaiian culture, which enriches anyone's life if they are open and sensitive to what these legendary islands and native people have to offer.Less

In Hawaiʻi, hala or pūhala refers to species of small, often coastal, trees in the genus Pandanus. Hala is among the most important plants in the ecology and history of Hawaiʻi and the broader Pacific. Once a major native component of the coastal and lowland areas of Hawaii, hala forests have been nearly eliminated by human activity, and with them valuable ecological services may have been lost. Hala has also had a profound effect on the people of Oceania. Their use of lau hala sails enabled them to move beyond the reef and become an ocean-voyaging people capable of exploring the vastness of the Pacific. In addition, every part of this tree has uses that have been critical to the cultural heritage and survival of the peoples of this region. Because Hawaiian cultural heritage has been so intertwined with this natural resource, this chapter discusses the ecological history of hala, the challenges that have impacted its survival, and the strategies being used to sustain it.Less

Hula, poi, aloha shirts, surfboards, and lūʻau are some of the contemporary symbols of Hawaiʻi's local culture known around the world. Lau hala is less known outside of Hawaiʻi, but among many Native Hawaiians, it is an important symbol of Hawaiian identity. Photographic records, oral histories and recordings, and the oral transmission of knowledge document that hala is a plant that is deeply entwined in the tangible and intangible cultural heritage of Hawaiʻi. The art of lau hala—the weaving—turning the lau (leaves) of the hala (pandanus palm) into mea ulana (woven objects) is fundamental to the craft and art of this treasured cultural heritage practice. This chapter discusses lau hala in Hawaiian cultural history; lau hala and cultural knowledge; standards of excellence within Hawaiian lau hala weaving communities; contemporary challenges to lau hala; and efforts to document, preserve, and bring new attention to lau hala.Less

Information about lau hala can be found in both text and visual documents in the collections of public and private museums, libraries, and archives throughout the islands and, indeed, around the world. One of those repositories is The Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum's historical photograph collection of “a million images.” The collection represents the work of hundreds of professional and amateur photographers and contains examples of the earliest photographic portraits made in the islands, scenes of land and sea, and documentation of ceremonial activities and daily life. Drawing on the Bishop Museum collection, this chapter provides a brief overview of the history of photography in Hawaiʻi; some information about noted photographers who worked in the islands; and a sampling of photographic images that provide documentation of the making of hats and the use of lau hala in Hawaiʻi. Themes of the development of photography in the islands and the adoption of foreign-styled hats as a part of Hawaiian attire are interwoven throughout. Finally, the chapter helps illuminate how photographs themselves, and the repositories that preserve and create access to them, are important resources for understanding cultural history.Less

This chapter explores the life of Elizabeth Maluihi Lee, a living treasure and master lau hala weaver from Kona, Hawaii. She tells how she has continued to share her knowledge of the art of lau hala weaving with the community throughout her life. As the founder and president of the Ka Ulu Lauhala o Kona weaving organization, she explains how its annual conference was established and how this event has welcomed other master weavers to share their knowledge of lau hala weaving with the community to perpetuate this art form for current and future generations. The author also discusses the different styles of piko that Aunty Maluihi uses in weaving a pāpale lau hala and that of her own grandfather, Ernest Enoka Kaʻohelauliʻi, a master lau hala weaver from Puʻuwai Niʻihau. Aunty Maluihi also shares her wisdom about the proper way of wearing pāpale lau hala with adornments.Less

This chapter presents the author's moʻolelo of the research project, Wehe I Ka Pāpale, aimed at uncovering or unlocking the ʻike of making pāpale to preserve the generative knowledge that will perpetuate this traditional and customary practice of pāpale for current and future generations of Kanaka. What started simply as a research endeavor to gather information about pāpale lau hala traditions in Hawaii, through oral interviews, turned into a journey of professional and personal exploration, cultural connections, and identity formation. More than just telling a story, the author engages the art of ulana. From the stories trustingly shared through Wehe I Ka Pāpale, she weaves a moena decorated with beautiful pāwehe that are the unique details of each storyteller's life as a practitioner of ulana.Less

This chapter presents the transcript of an interview with Uncle Roy Benham, kūpuna and well-known maker of lei hala. One lesson learned from the conversation with Uncle Roy is the importance of ha'i mo'olelo. Uncle Roy so perfectly demonstrates that as moʻolelo are told, one story reminds us of another story, sometimes of the past and sometimes of the future. Therefore, the transcript is not presented chronologically or thematically. Instead, it is presented as Uncle Roy told it so that readers may enjoy not only his manaʻo about hala but also his classic kūpuna style of haʻi moʻolelo.Less
