In celebration of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, join museum educators in the imagiNATIONS Activity Center for hands-on activities related to Hawaiian culture.
Stop by the imagiNATIONS Activity Center Classroom to learn about the process used by Native Hawaiians to create kapa, cloth made from paper mulberry tree bark, or wauke. Chat with educators, learn about the tools used to create kapa, and as a keepsake, stamp a bookmark with kapa designs to take home.
