Ho'omau is the Hawaiian word meaning “to continue, perpetuate, persist,” which is what Pacific Island cultures have done for centuries, and through it all, the canoe has played a vital part. For Pacific Islanders and paddlers from many backgrounds in the Northwest, the outrigger canoe has become a tool for building community, sharing their love of the sport, and holding on to their culture.
