Turning Point

In Native Hawaiian, the word “huliau” means a turning point, a time of change. The root word “huli” is the shoot of the taro plant, the staple of the Native Hawaiian diet, which was replanted after the “kalo,” the edible corm, was gathered and consumed. Huli would be replanted again and again, continually regenerating the productive capacity of the “loʻi,” or taro patch.
