Ohana Means Family

 

Lilo Pelekai and Stitch

Birth Date: Mei 22, 2023 (05/22/23)

Ohana means family, and family means no one gets left behind or forgotten.

Lilo is a sweet, courageous and high-spirited girl. After all her last name, Pelekai means ‘Volcano of the Sea’.

In the Hawaiian language Lilo means generous and Lilo is more than generous sharing her love with the Ohana (family). She is devoted to her Ohana and believes in the good of everyone.

Stitch is an extraterrestrial. Through her love, faith and unwavering belief in Ohana, Lilo helps unlock Stitch's heart and gives him the ability to care for others.

In Hawai’i you don’t have to be related by blood to be considered Ohana.

Here we are connected to one another in many ways.

Lilo knows, that whether the bond is by blood or Aloha, we are Ohana 

and take care of each other.

Lilo also teaches Stitch to dance the Hula.

Lilo’s dance contains a magic that conveys the spirit of Aloha and gladdens the heart.

Lilo’s Tutu (grandmother) sewed her red dress with the white leaves and crocheted blue underpants and shoes which she adorned with crystals. Tutu wove her Mana (spiritual energy) and Aloha (love) into Lilo's Puakenikeni flower and Maile leaf Haku (head lei). All these precious things were Tutu’s gifts of Aloha (Love) to her beloved Mo’opuna Wahine (granddaughter).

Lilo is a 7” 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.

Stitch is about 3.5” tall and sewn out of faux fur. All accessories are individually hand crafted.

Lilo is not a dress up doll. All clothing and accessories are sewn and/or glued onto her.

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!

Lilo and Stitch are one of a kind Hawaiian Art Dolls. They come with their story and a certificate of authenticity. Every bit of Lilo and Stitch has been lovingly handcrafted, to create new friends who will last a lifetime.

Lilo and Stitch reflect the Aloha spirit of Hawaii.

They are ready to be part of your Ohana and dance their way into your heart!

Learn to be aware and watchful like Kamapua’a and his Pua’a!

Let their Mana (spiritual energy) of strength, courage and Aloha flow into you.

Kamapua’a is named in honor of the Hawaiian Pig God, who was the protector of the pigs and cascading waterfalls bestowing abundant growth to the lands of Hawaii.

"Kauhale o Kamapua`a

Wehiwehi i ka nahele

Ka uhi pa`a ka noe

Me anuenue i ke awawa

Home of Kamapua`a

Adorned with growth

Covered with mist

With rainbows in the valley"

According to Hawaiian legend, Kamapua’a was born on the island of Oahu. Kamapua’a had superhuman powers and was often referred to as Pua’a Akua (Hog God). As a kupua (demigod) he could change at will from a handsome loveable man to a destructive hog.
Pele, Hawaiian Volcano Goddess, and Kamapua’a were once lovers. Their romance didn’t last very long and soon turned into competitive battles, in which Kamapua’a unsuccessfully tried to extinguish Pele’s flame.
Many formations around the islands are considered evidence of the fierce battles between Pele and Kamapua’a. Eventually, Pele granted Kamapua’a to reign in the rainforests of Kohala, Hamakua and

Kamapua’a became protector of the pigs and the cascading waterfalls bestowing abundant growth to the lands of Hawaii.

Kamapua’a and his Pua’a (Pig) are Hunters of Aloha, caretakers of the forest and the Menehune’s guardians. Together they walk fearlessly through the beautiful Kaiholena Mountains watching for dangers and threats to their beloved Ohana (family).
Kamapua’a carrying his lei o mano (shark’s lei club), and Pua’a with his tusks are always ready to protect their loved ones and shield them in a safe cloud of Aloha.
Pua’a is Kamapua’as Aumakua (Guardian Spirit). They are so closely connected that they have become inseparable friends.
Kamapua’a carved his lei o mano out of Koa wood and surrounded it with shark teeth. Only Gods and the Ali’i are allowed to use the lei o mano.
After Kamapua’a finished his lei o mano, he blessed it with a prayer and salt water from the Pacific Ocean for purification and protection.

Kamapua’a wears a beige Malo (loincloth), a Kupukupu (fern) Haku (head lei), neck and ankle leis. Hawaiian tree ferns represent spiritual strength, unity and love. His neck is adorned with a pig tusk amulet. Pua’a wears a Plumeria flower behind his ear.
