Butch Helemano

http://www.huinaauao.com/ is a traditional knowledge project conducted by Kupuna Butch Helemano at Waimea falls park. Butch is fronting Unit 405 with Japanese school and our property fence in the back ground.

Project Goal is to provide a program to our community that works closely with traditional knowledge practitioners. And to teach skills which can be used to help perpetuate our cultural heritage

Many of our cultural traditions are no longer taught or practiced. Our goal is to create in our community a guild of craftsmen and artisans who, learning from our elders, will help to perpetuate our many wonderful traditions.

Classes are on Sunday 10:00 - 1:00. Classes change each week on everything from dry-stacking rock walls to weaving thatched roofs, to making tools from natures valleys and more. For more information call Butch at 292-4292. Don't feel bad if he doesn't answer, he never hears his phone ring. But he'll know you were thinking of him.





Butch is here at our property preparing to perform a wedding for a military guest and his son.
