Label TextThe title of this work, No Mākou Ke Ānuenue, means "the rainbow for us all" in ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi (Native Hawaiian language). Not only is it a celebration of Native Hawaiian language, but it also celebrates the perpetuation of Hawaiian bark cloth (Kapa) traditions and ways of relating to the land and each other. The rainbow in earth pigments is an acknowledgment of the diversity of Pasifika individuals, inclusive of and celebrating Queer members of the community. Status
