These murals were completed as part of our Moʻolelo Murals Project. Our Moʻolelo Murals Project is no longer operating.

The intent of this page is as a community resource to learn more about our traditional moʻolelo (stories/ histories/ legends) that the art represents.

Moʻolelo carries teachings that can kōkua in the healing of our ʻāina and kaiāulu.

The moʻolelo presented are from a culmination of print and oral sources. We understand there can be variations of the same moʻolelo and we respect versions that differ than what we present.
