Learn to be aware and watchful like Malama, Makoa and their Pua’as!
Let their Mana (spiritual energy) of strength, courage and Aloha flow into you.

Malama, the caretaker with his Mo’opuna Kane (grandson) Makoa (Courageous) and the Pua’as (Pigs) are Hunters of Aloha and the Menehune’s guardians. Together they walk fearlessly through the beautiful forest in the Kaiholena Mountains watching for dangers and threats to their beloved Ohana (family).

Malama and Makoa carrying their Ihes (spears), and the Pua’as with their tusks are always ready to protect their loved ones and shield them in a safe cloud of Aloha.

The Pua’as are Malama’s and Makoa’s Aumakuas (Guardian Spirits). Malama and Makoa are so closely connected to their Pua’as that they have become inseparable friends.

Malama is Makoa’s Kuku (grandfather) and also his Kumu (teacher) of hunting with Aloha. Makoa adores the wisdom of his Kumu!

Malama and Makoa carved their Ihes out of wood. The top of the Ihes are surrounded by Ti leaves and a yellow Hulu (feather) lei for purification and protection. When the Ihes were finished Makoa and his Kuku blessed them with a prayer and salt water from the Pacific Ocean.
Malama and Makoa honor Kamapua'a, the Hawaiian Pig God, who was the protector of the pigs and cascading waterfalls bestowing abundant growth to the lands of Hawaii.


Malama’s Tutu (grandmother) sewed their green lava lavas (wraparounds) with a Hapu (fern) design and crocheted yellow underwear. The color green is associated with magic, growth and harmony. As an added blessing and for protection Tutu lovingly wove Maile leis and crafted tusk amulets and a hair stick for Malama and Makoa. Maile is the lei of eternal love.
She stuck a Plumeria flower behind each Pua’a’s ear.
All these things were Tutu’s and Kuku's sacred gifts of Aloha to their beloved Mo’opuna Kane (grandson).

Malama, Makoa and the Pua’as were individually handcrafted on the Big Island of Hawaii with the greatest love and respect for all that is Hawaii.


Malama is a 10” tall cloth doll.


 
Makoa is about 7” tall. 

The bodies are made out of doll skin, stuffed with high quality poly fill and wired for flexibility. The eyes and mouth are intricately embroidered onto the face giving the dolls a unique personality.
Malama’s Pua’a is about 3.5” tall. Makoa’s Pua’a is about 2.5” tall. Both fit in the palm of your hand. The bodies are sewn out of black synthetic fur. The tusks are made out of clay.
All accessories were individually hand crafted.

Malama and Makoa are not dress up dolls. All clothing and accessories are sewn and/or glued onto them, except for the Ihes 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!

Malama, Makoa and the Pua’as are one of a kind Hawaiian Art Dolls and come with a booklet and certificate of authenticity. They are collector’s item bringing you the spiritual power of Hawaii.

Every bit of Malama, Makoa and the Pua’as has been lovingly handcrafted to create new friends who will last a lifetime.


Malama, Makoa and the Pua’as, are ready to be your new friends 
and hunt their way into your heart.

Malama, Makoa and the Pua’as channel strength and courage.
