Why is the waʻa so important to our people? Our waʻa project begins today – a journey to  learn about our ancestors as well as ourselves. You will be using your individual knowledge and cooperating with others to build a waʻa. Your journey will begin with a review of measurements, scale, ratios and learning the waʻa parts.
