Makahiki Day!

So Tuesday was a pretty ordinary day, we got split into groups for our final presentations we will be doing at the end of our internship that is coming up(sad face). All the cool stuff happened this past Saturday when we were given the greatest opportunity to participate in a Makahiki day with Aunty Donny and her ohana on the Marine Corps Base at Pyramid Rock Beach.  We were asked to bring a ho'okupu from the land or what we made/grew. That night we were able to learn about the history of Donny's ohana and eat some delicious food. It was a great experience that we were able to participate in with learning local Hawaiian culture.
