Kaimana, the Fisher Boy, honors Ku’ula the Hawaiian Fish God.
Carrying his scoop net to the gentle waters in the bays of Punalu’u
Black Sands Beach, Kaimana gets ready to catch dinner for his Ohana (family) and himself.
First, he says a prayer of heartfelt thanks for nature’s abundant offerings.
He then humbly asks permission for just enough fish to come to his net so that he can feed himself and his Ohana.

Kaimana has a balanced, harmonious relationship with nature. He knows that if he takes only what he needs, it will always be given freely.
Kaimana never forgets to honor the Akuas (gods) by offering his first fish to the Ko’a (fishing shrine).
Resting on a big piece of coral, Kaimana gratefully admires his abundant catch of the day.

Kaimana is most generous. Nothing makes him happier than sharing the fish he caught with his Ohana and the people in the village,
so that everybody can have an abundant, delicious dinner.
Seeing their joy and appreciation is the greatest gift to him.

Kaimana’s Tutu (grandmother) sewed his blue Malu (wraparound) with a Honu (turtle) design and crocheted his brown tabi shoes.
Tutu crafted a conch and cowrie shell lei for Kaimana.
In Hawaii the Pu (Conch Shell) is believed to invoke blessings of divine Mana and provide protection from all harm.

Kaimana 's Kuku (grandfather) crafted and blessed his yellow scoop net which always catches just enough fish for the Ohana’s dinner.
All these things were Kuku's and Tutu’s sacred gifts of Aloha (Love) to their beloved Mo’opuna Kane (grandson).
