NATIVE HAWAIIAN DESIGN The Pae ʻĀina (Archipelago) Camo design features a camouflage pattern that uses each of the moku (islands) of the Hawaiian island chain. If you look closely at the pattern, you'll notice each of the eight major Hawaiian islands. The eight major islands of Hawaiʻi include Hawaiʻi, Maui, Kahoʻolawe, Lānaʻi, Molokaʻi, Oʻahu, Kauaʻi and Niʻihau. These islands represent the homeland or kulāiwi of the Kānaka Maoli (indigenous Hawaiians), and the source of their rich history and culture. This specific pattern uses the nahele or forest color scheme. This color arrangement blends in best with the deep, lush rainforests of of the upland (mauka) regions of Hawaiʻi, but also matches certain patterns of the coral (koʻa) reefs and seaweed (limu) beds.
