Howzit everyone? This post goes out to all the kanakas and kanaka's at heart who keep the spirit of Tiki alive and well! I originally found this site by googling my name and I came up as a topic (I carve miki'oi Hawaiian makau/fishhooks with ki'i of Hawaiian gods and aumakuas)!!! Its been awhile since Ive been back but its great to see that so many people in this world still appreciate tiki-ana, Hawaiiana, and oceanic art, pop culture etc.

From what Ive read so far on many posts, there are a lot of akamai (smart, intelligent), funny & warm people who use this great site and I feel a sense of comfort knowing that unlike the great Polynesian pop culture movement of the 50's and 60's which somewhat died and fell to the wayside, it will always be alive and well and live on proudly thanks to all of you out there!

So, Im excited to be a part of this site and look forward to reading and responding to all the great story thats being talked out there! You can also check out my website at http://www.cabanillamakau.com to see some samples of my carvings!

ALoha and Mahalo!!!
