About This CalendarThis Hawaiian lunarcalendar features thework of students whoattend the KaiāuluAnahola after-schoolprogram in theahupua‘a of Anahola,moku ‘okana of Ko‘olau,mokupuni of Kaua‘i.Under the guidanceof Kumu KamealohaSmith and MikalaShofner, part of their science and Hawaiian language curriculum focusedon the restoration of destroyed and neglected areas of Anahola Bay. Basedon surveys and community feedback, the restoration of marine resources iscritical to the survival of traditional practices including subsistence fishing andHawaiian language use.The calendar was produced by the WesternPacific Regional Fishery ManagementCouncil, a federal instrumentality createdby Congress in 1976 to manage federalfisheries in the US Pacific Islands. TheCouncil coordinator for this project wasSylvia Spalding, under the leadership ofExecutive Director Kitty Simonds andin consultation with Council contractorKalei Nu`uhiwa, who provided the Kaua‘ilunar month calculations and worked directly with Kaiāulu Anahola. Thetide charts are for Nawiliwili. They were produced by Barry Smith (Universityof Guam, retired) from data provided by the NOAA Center for OperationalOceanographic Products and Services (http://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov).The students began their training by learning about the traditional Hawaiianlunar calendar. The students studied the moon phases, the months and theseasons in Hawaiian. For most students, this was the first time they studiedthe Hawaiian cycle of moons as it pertains to the ocean and land resources.Students recorded their daily and nightly observations of the moon phasesand changes in the weather. They also learned about Hawaiian place names,traditional fishing practices and water quality testing. Some of their findingsare included in this calendar. The students gathered information basedon the standardized calculation of the Hawaiian lunar month placementsrecorded in Hawaiian Antiquities written by Davida Malo (1793-1853). However,this calendar also features the traditional Kaua`i names as recorded by J.M.Poepoe (1906) and N. Emerson (1898). The calendar also features informationon traditional fishing knowledge from Ka Hana Lawai‘a (Kumu PonoAssociates, 2003/2004).
