Often used as a versatile everyday tool for commoners (makaʻāinana), it was practical for a wide range of tasks, including food preparation, hair cutting, wood carving, bark stripping, and self-defense.In this hands-on workshop, you will construct your own working niho ‘oki while exploring Hawaiian tool design with Utah artist Kimo Watanabe. Discover how specific angles, materials, and shapes solved complex daily problems through an interactive showcase of authentic and replica pieces. Then, use files and sandpaper to fine-tune a pre-cut wooden handle, set a real shark tooth into place, and master traditional lashing techniques to complete your tool.A musician, traditional folk artist, and Utah Artist Fellow, Kimo Watanabe dedicates much of his artistic practice to Hawaiian and Samoan carving arts. Mentored by revered master practitioners like Su‘a Sulu‘ape Malama ‘O Mataitoa Keone Nunes and ‘Olohe Lua Umi Kai, Kimo carries forward generations of technique, lineage, and deep cultural intent (kaona). For Kimo, his work is ultimately about honoring heritage and fostering meaningful human connection.This event is suitable for ages 12 and up.
