4)  Kapa

Indigenous Hawaiian artist Dalani Tanahy spends weeks beating tree bark into a sheets of fabric. This ancient Hawaiian artform known as 'kapa' was once the staple material of the islands. But after Captain Cook introduced cotton, and the Americans overthrew the Hawaiian monarchy, kapa-making disappeared. Dalani is one of a handful of practitioners who has spent her life bringing this artform back. Why? Because kapa-making has become integral to the nascent Hawaiian cultural nationalism that is taking hold in indigenous communities of Hawaii. Kapa-making has become a source of pride and identity, but it is a lot of work. Trees have to be planted and tended, cut, stripped, and the bark beaten and fermented.
