| dc.description | Dalani Tanahy was born in San Diego in 1961. She is a kapa maker based out of Mākaha, Oʻahu. She moved to Oʻahu in 1979 to attend Brigham Young University, eventually settling in Mākaha in 1986. She began making kapa in earnest in 1994, after taking a class taught by Kawai Aona-Ueoka through Kawai’s nonprofit, Kapa Aloha. Her skill as a kapa maker has largely evolved out of her own experimentation and study. Dalani supports herself as a full-time kapa practitioner through workshops, teaching university students, and commissioning unique pieces for individuals and agencies. She has also worked on grant-funded projects, including making kapa for the repatriation of iwi kūpuna. | |
