On Family Sunday, May 3, at Bishop Museum a special ceremony honoring the pohaku will take place and Kumu Hula Keone Nunes and his Halau Kapuwailani'onohinohiula will partici- pate. After its debut at the Bishop Museum the photographic exhibit will travel through the Islands for four months before closing at Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park in September. Gay is a direct descendant of Kahekili Nui of Maul. For this show, she shares the knowledge she gained during more than six years research- ing, photographing and cataloguing most of the ancient stone sites left in Hawai'i. Gay said she believes pohaku, the stone, is the essence of the Hawaiian spirit and soul and she hopes the photos "will help protect and pre- serve the ancient pohaku sites and traditions which are central to the traditional Hawaiian culture and knowledge. " Pohaku, she said, remains one of the few tra- ditions of pre-contact Hawai'i that has not been dramatically altered by Western influence. Speaking about the exhibit, Duckworth said: "The photographs taken by Ms. Gay are of excellent quality and the inclusion of oral histo- ries she has collected greatly enhance the exhib- it. Exhibitions that are conceived and produced by Native Hawaiians are rare and should be encouraged. This exhibition is an opportunity for American museums to support a community member's effort to communicate what is impor- tant to her.

Dancing in the wind

While hiking through Hawaii's wilderness trails, a joyful sight to behold is that of a Kamehameha butterfly dancing in the wind above the shrubs. Wi th its bright red- orange wings and black veins, the Kamehameha butterfly looks very much like the introduced Monarch butterfly, although the Monarch is slightly larger. The Kamehameha butterfly can also be identi- fied by the spots on its wings. The spots are bright white on the females and orange on the males. Though there are literally hundreds of native moths in Hawai'i, there are only two native but- terflies: the Kamehameha and the smaller, bluish-gray butterfly Udara blackbumi.
