Circles of Light offered free art projects
to youth and adults at the Kaua'i PowWow in October. Children
learned how to make corn husk dolls and used natural materials
to design and create their own doll. We appreciated the
opportunity to participate in this annual cultural event.

In June Circles of Light worked in collaboration
with the Cradleboard Teaching Project and Ka Ipu Haa to offer
youth from around Kaua'i an afternoon of art, cooking, and cultural
teachings. The event featured Native American food as
well as craft projects from the Native American and Hawaiian
cultures. A highlight of the event included cultural teachings
by Buffy Sainte-Marie and Puna Kalama Dawson. For more

In January of 2003, Circles of Light initiated
this project which offers youth and adults an opportunity to
help create small banners representing what it means to be a
part of the Kaua'i community. Participants paint images
and words on small pieces of cloth, which are stitched together
to make small banners to be hung in community centers around
the island. We are happy to have offered this workshop
at Nana's House in Waimea, Kekaha Ha'aheo Housing, Lihu'e Court,
and Hanapepe Art Night so far this year.
