Makahiki season was dedicated to the god Lono, and during this time, wars ceased, certain religious practices were suspended, and major construction works were put on hold. When Makahiki began, the maka\u02bb\u0101inana offered their tribute to Lono and to the ali\u02bbi, in the form of their finest foods, crafts, and clothing. \u00a0These items were offered with the highest sense of pride in hopes that these gifts came back in the form of blessings from Lono (e.g., rainfall, good growing conditions, and fine crops). Once this process was complete, the people were free to engage in games and leisure to celebrate their yearlong hard work. Major tournaments were arranged in the various ahupua\u02bba and were attended by entire communities. \u00a0The champions of each district were esteemed and honored as homegrown heroes. \u00a0The greatest champions were invited by the ali\u02bbi to challenge the champions of other ahupua\u02bba.<\/p>\n

The Hawaiian games were exciting and fun to spectate. \u00a0Reports note how hundreds, even thousands would attend the Makahiki game tournaments. \u00a0Our Hawaiian ancestors truly cherished these games and held them dear to their na\u02bbau (heart).<\/p>\n

In an effort to provide students with this experience,\u00a0\u00a0Mr. Quinabo and Mr. Ala have coordinated a series of Makahiki games for the young men of Nae’ole Hale.<\/p>\n
