Write at least one paragraph covering what you know about your topic. Write at least one paragraph about what you plan on researching/investigating. Include a thesis, hypothesis, or driving question in these paragraphs. I know a little about poi pounders I know that back in the day Hawaiians did not have chisels and hammers to make the rock that will become the poi pounder. I also know that you halve to have a certain kind of rock that can be carved into a Poi Pounder. I know some about rocks from volcanoes from science class.
I plan on asking Uncle Cal and some Kumu on how can I make a Poi pounder. I would like to make my Poi Pounder by hand but I would like to use tools to make the project complete in my guideline goals I am shooting for.

Write at least one paragraph explaining how your project incorporates Hawaiian culture and/or malama `aina. Write at least one paragraph explaining how you project will benefit you, your community, and/or the world. My project is all about the Hawaiian culture because its based from Hawaiian culture. The Poi pounder is the icon for food sustainability to me, because the Poi pounder has been around for a really long time. Hawaiians put art and time into making these. It took extra effort and art because they did not have the tools that we have today.
Todays Poi is made in mills so hand pounding is the traditional way of making Poi. My project will benefit the community because if I have a lot of Kalo that I am growing then I can sell cheap Poi to my neighbors. It will also give me another skill that could come in handy.
