NATIVE HAWAIIAN DESIGN
The Mākau (fishhook) design pays respect to the renowned demigod, Maui, and his magical fishhook, Mānaiakalani. There is a traditional story of Maui and his older brothers setting out on a canoe to go fishing. As Maui fished with his magical fish hook, Mānaiakalani, he told his brothers that if he should hook something, to paddle as fast as they could to the shore and to never look back.
Suddenly, Maui hooked a massive creature. His brothers, listening to Maui’s advice, quickly paddled to shore as Maui reeled the creature in. However, his brothers began to lose strength and grew curious to see what was putting up such a big fight! Ignoring Maui’s request, his brothers turned their heads to try and see the creature Maui was pulling in. Instead of a creature, they saw the pae ʻāina ʻo Hawaiʻi (Hawaiian archipelago) rising out of the ocean. But, as soon as they looked at what Maui had caught, the magic was broken and Maui’s line snapped.
Mānaiakalani is also a constellation used by Hawaiian navigators to wayfind across the Pacific Ocean.
Wear this shirt to carry the story of Maui, his magical fish hook Mānaiakalani, and the birth of the Hawaiian islands.
