Keiki
KANEOHE, Hawaii -- Chris Lifu, the Polynesian Cultural Center, wows the crowd with a demonstration of how the Samoan culture makes fire by rubbing two sticks together during the Friends of Hickam Keiki Fishing Tournament June 10 at the Ho'omaluhia Botanical Gardens. He also demonstrated how easily they crack open a coconut, the difference between coconut juice and milk, and how the men do all the major cooking while the women shop. The keiki caught a record-setting 449 fish at the tenth annual tournament. The gardens are 400 acres of geographically laid out botanic garden of endangered and rare plants with a network of trails and a 32-acre lake. The name, Ho'omaluhia, translates "to make a place of peace and tranquility." (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Mike Meares)
