Hawaiian artifacts

Hawaiian artifacts are items crafted or used by Native Hawaiians that reflect their culture, history, and spiritual beliefs. These include traditional tools, jewelry, featherwork, petroglyphs, and carved wooden objects, often made from natural materials like bone, stone, and wood. Artifacts serve as cultural symbols, tell stories, and connect communities to their ancestors and environment. They are valuable for understanding Hawaii’s rich heritage and artistic traditions, often demonstrating skills like weaving, carving, and the use of indigenous motifs. Preserving these artifacts helps maintain the cultural identity and history of the Hawaiian people.
