A six-day community ceremonial relay around the circumference of Hawaiʻi island to bring in the Makahiki Season.
To herald the Makahiki season, aliʻi and kahuna once traversed the island in a clockwise procession, bearing the sacred Lonomakua staff through each district to gather tribute, purify the land, and evaluate the well-being of both the land and its people. While the modern ceremonial run honors this ancient practice by integrating many of its elements, it is important to note that ʻAha Pule ʻĀina Holo stands as a new ceremony. It is not a re-creation or substitute for the original.
