Abstract
Description
Walter Pu was born in Hāna, Maui where his family has lived for seven generations. Growing
up, Walter frequently visited the park. With over twenty years of service, Walter continues to
serve as a park ranger in the Kīpahulu district. In addition to serving as a park ranger, Walter had
the chance to work with a mentor, Tava, a canoe carver and navigator of the traditional
Polynesian long-distance canoe Hōkūleʻa. Using traditional methods, Walter and Tava built the
canoe underneath a traditional hale (building) near the visitor center, working on the project for
nearly six months. You can view this canoe in the Kīpahulu Visitor Center.
