Ka Hōʻuluʻulu Manaʻo: "On the northeast coast of Kauaʻi, catch from small local reefs, and the sharing of this abundance, has sustained area kaiāulu (communities) for centuries, through tidal waves, hurricanes, burgeoning tourism, and influx of new residents, and loss of access to coastal lands, now private retreats for the ultra-wealthy. Building on interviews with more than sixty Hawaiian elders, leaders, and fisher men and fisher women, Kaiāulu shares their stories of enduring community efforts to cultivate fishing spots, maintain connection to family lands, reassert local governance rooted in ancestral values, and teach future generations to carry on. Kaiāulu is a skillfully written and deeply personal tribute to a community based not on ownership, but on reciprocity, responsibility, and caring for the places that shape and sustain us all"-- Page 4 of cover.
