Written By [Guest User](/news-notes?author=6839f4dcc52c4707a9ee7c66)

Daniel Anthony, Native Hawaiian says, " I am a cultural entrepreneur. I don't sell culture, I help other people value it."

He tells a story of reconnecting to our ancestral foods. Find out how an indigenous food was once considered illicit, and how it heals a community.

Daniel believes that many of the challenges facing Hawai‘i today can be addressed through fostering a relationship with Häloa—the first ancestor of the Hawaiian people and the Hawaiian name for the kalo plant.
