Lei Hulu Kamoe - Mamo
Lei Hulu ‘Ilima Kamoe - Mamo
In Old Hawai'i feather work was a unique art. People of royal lineage would wear them as their daily attire. Feathers gathered from the Native Hawaiian birds were prizes possessions.
Today, we use them when dancing Hula to represent a a place, mo'olelo (story), or bird.
We gift them to kupuna, or someone special in our lives. They are also used to congratulate a person of high achievement, or symbolic union (weddings, etc.). These beautiful fragile lei of Hawai'i are called Lei Hulu.
Mamo - Black Hawaiian honey creeper (Drepanis pacifica): its yellow feathers above and below the tail were used in choicest featherwork. Formerly found only on Hawaiʻi, not seen since the 1880s. A Molokaʻi species was Drepanis funerea, not seen since the 1890s; also hoa and ʻōʻō nuku mū.
