Paa Ka Laa: Animism and Totemism April 9, 2007

With this exhibition, Hale Naua begins a new journey into the world of traditional and conceptual contemporary art forms. 'Pa!a Ka La!a' will showcase the work of over two-dozen native artists, including Native Hawaiians. The exhibit powerfully illustrates the influence that Animism and Totemism-fundamental beliefs of all First Nation People- have on artistic expression. Interspersed throughout the exhibit will be rare !aumakua images from the Museum's collection.
