Videos of Hawaiian Craftsmanship

Welcome to our collection of videos of Hawaiian craftsmanship. Traditional craftsmanship here was of a different order. Absent precious metals and gemstones, the lei became Hawai’i’s jewelry—their savor far exceeding that of any goldsmith’s bauble, and the design of their flowers such as only the hand of God could create.

Kulia i ka nu’u – Strive to reach the highest.
