Featherwork
-
Cloaks, lei , headware, and kāhili (standards) for the ali’i (chief) were all once fashioned from feathers. The birds were trapped so that specific feathers could be plucked, and then the creatures were released. Yellow, red, and black were the colors most often used. Today, artisans still craft lei of feathers from pheasant and other introduced species.
