The Kāleka Pō Mahina is our set of moon phase cards. Each card features one of the 30 moon phases, with the moon's name and picture on the front. The back of each card includes details about the moon's features, along with fishing and farming information, sourced from Hawaiian scholars David Malo and Kepelino. Translations of their Hawaiian writings into English were done by Kumu Kaliko Beamer-Trapp. The information on these cards corresponds to the content of the Kaulana Mahina and serves as its translation.
