Abstract

Description

Vivian “Vani” Lehua Ainoa was born in 1937 in ʻUalapuʻe, Molokaʻi and raised in Kamalō. She learned how to find and gather limu along the south shore of the island of Molokaʻi from her mother. She moved to Oʻahu for three years after marrying her husband before returning to Molokaʻi, where they raised four boys and one girl. They eventually inherited and ran a service station and furniture and appliance store for thirty-four years. Aunty Vani is an active member in the Limu Hui, teaching children at Aliʻi Fishpond about limu ʻeleʻele. In this interview, she shares where she gathers limu, the types of limu she finds, and how she prepares them to eat. She also discusses the medicinal value of limu.
