EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage 1880s-1900s photograph captures a moment in the rich cultural history of Hawaii, as Indigenous people gather to enjoy a traditional meal of Poi. Poi, the primary staple food in the native cuisine of Hawaii, is made from the underground stem (corm) of the taro plant (Hawaiian: kalo). In this image, the taro has been expertly prepared and transformed into the prized dish, which is being passed around and shared among the community. The scene unfolds in a rural setting, likely in the countryside or a small town, with simple structures and buildings in the background, reflecting the early architecture of the era. The image provides a glimpse into the daily life of the Indigenous people during this time, showcasing their deep connection to the land and their traditions. The photograph, with its warm tones and intricate details, transports us back to an earlier century, offering a unique perspective on the history and culture of Hawaii. The image is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Indigenous people and their customs, which continue to be celebrated and honored to this day. This evocative and historic photograph is an essential addition to any collection of early travel images, providing a window into the past and a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Hawaii.
