Birth date: Kepakemapa 8, 2018 (09-08-19)

Ko Olina, Nene and Honu remind us
that there is always more than enough time to fulfill all desires.

Ko Olina, Nene (Goose) and Honu (Turtle) have all the time in the world!
Together they meander through the beautiful forest in the Ka'u Mountains cherishing all they see, hear, and feel. Baby Nene quacks and waddles along happily. Little Honu is resting contently on Ko Olina's arm.
Wonderful and exciting things keep happening! Everywhere they go they are greeted with kindness and abundance: the sun warms their bodies, the birds sing their most beautiful songs, flowers open to embrace them with their sweet scent.
When they are hungry food appears on their path, a crunchy green leaf for Honu, a big yellow Mai’a (banana) to share for Ko Olina and Nene. The small mountain stream offers cool, fresh to quench their thirst.

Ko Olina, Nene and Honu honor 
the Akuas (spirits) of the enchanting forest.

Nene and Honu are Ko Olina’s Aumakuas (guardian spirits) and the three of them are inseparable. Ko Olina is deeply connected with the ancient wisdom of Honu and Nene.
In Hawaii the Honu represents long life, safety, peace, and good luck.
Nene means to cherish. The Nene Goose enhances the life and spirit of Hawaii.


Ko Olina's Tutu (grandmother) lovingly wove her traditional green hula skirt and sewed a bright yellow bikini to wear with it. Tutu wove her Mana (spiritual energy) and Aloha (love) into Ko Olina's red flower and green 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.
Tutu crocheted little yellow shoes for Ko Olina. Last she stuck beautiful yellow Plumeria flowers behind Ko Olina's, Nene’s and Honu's ears.
All these precious things were Tutu’s gifts of Aloha (Love) to her beloved Mo’opuna Wahine (granddaughter).


Ko Olina is about 4” tall fitting in the palm of your hand. The body is made out of stretch cotton and wired for flexibility. The eyes and mouth are intricately embroidered onto the face.
