Poi Making in Hawaii
352 views since 2007-09-03
Poi is the traditional food of the Hawaiians. It is made from taro root. Taro is considered to be the brother of the native kanaka maoli. It is very precious. Before the white man came and took the land, there was plenty of food for the islanders. Now only concrete towers rise on the breadbaskets of the ancient people. Now poi is too expensive for the native to eat. Now diabetes is rampant in the Native hawaiian community because of lack of poi.
