Ha’ina (Offering), the Pa’u Hula Dancer
Birth Date: Kekemapa 14, 2020 (12/14/20)
Ma’ema’e ke ‘ala e holo ala
E ala mai, E naue mai, E noke mai e
Clear the path to move on
Awake, Move, Persevere
Ha’ina’s dance inspires us to awake, move forward and persevere,
to live in faith with intention, determination and courage.
With strength and agility Ha’ina gracefully performs the ancient Hula. Down on her knees she offers her Makana (gift) of 2 Lehos (cowrie shells) to the Akuas (spirits).
Leho shells invoke the protection of the spirits in connection with the strength and the power of the ocean.
In the Aloha (compassion) spirit, the Lōkahi (unity) spirit, and the Pono (righteousness) spirit, Ha’ina honors the Akuas, the sacredness of life
and Kuleana for all things with her dance.
Ha’ina’s Tutu (grandmother) sewed the traditional pink Pa’u hula skirt and matching top with a Hibiscus flower design.
Tutu wove her Mana (spiritual energy) and Aloha (love) into Ha’ina’s pink feather Haku (head lei), wrist and ankle leis. In Hawaii the Hulu (feather) represents spiritual strength, unity and love. It is believed to link to the divine.
All these precious things were Tutu’s gifts of Aloha (Love) to her beloved Mo’opuna Wahine (granddaughter).
Ha’ina is a 10” tall cloth doll who was individually handcrafted on the Big Island of Hawaii with the greatest love and respect for all that is Hawaii. Her body is made out of doll skin and stuffed with high quality poly fill. The body is wired for flexibility. The eyes and mouth are intricately embroidered onto the face. All accessories were individually hand crafted.
Ha’ina is not a dress up doll. All clothing and accessories are sewn and/or glued onto her. Except for her skirt which can be removed.
Doll care: Gently brush the dolls and their clothing with a soft toothbrush to remove dust. Always brush the faces and bodies upwards towards the hair. Do not brush the hair!
Ha’ina is a one of a kind Hawaiian Art Doll and comes with a booklet and certificate of authenticity. She is a collector’s item bringing you the spiritual power of Hawaii.
Every bit of Ha’ina has been lovingly handcrafted to create a new friend who will last a lifetime.
Ha’ina is ready to be your new friend and dance her way into your heart.
Ha’ina inspires us to move forward and persevere.
