The event follows the unforgettable 2023 gathering, E Kū Ana Ka Paia (The Wall Will Stand), when an extraordinary wave of community members from across the pae ʻāina came together to set stones and breathe new life into the fishpond. This year’s event also coincides with Mālama Hulē‘ia’s tenth anniversary, marking a decade of cultural and ecological restoration.
The October 18 workday will once again unite Hawaiian fishpond specialists, kūpuna, key partners, trained staff, and alakaʻi (guides) to lead community members of all skill levels in rebuilding and capping a section of the 2,700-foot wall. Participants will experience the ancient Hawaiian practice of stonework—passing, selecting, and setting pōhaku side by side—while others join in a native planting activity to further restore the surrounding ecosystem.
