What is cultural protocol at a taro farm workday?
Last updated:
Arrive on time. Stand quietly through the opening oli (chant) — phones in bag, no photos. Don't step on the kuʻauna (loʻi bank walls — structural). Don't bring outside food into the patch (biosecurity). Don't photograph the kumu without asking. Listen more than you talk; follow the kumu's lead.
