Lau Kalo

The kalo (taro) plant holds profound significance in Hawaiʻi as a staple food source cultivated by Native Hawaiians however “Lau” specifically refers to the leaves of the kalo plant. Kalo not only represents nutrition but our connection to the ʻāina through Hāloa, the firstborn son of Wākea and Hoʻohōkūkalani, and is considered the ancestor of the Hawaiian people.
