Each year after Thanksgiving, Halau Na Hanona Kulike `O Pi`ilani begins gathering native Hawaiian foliage to starting making Lei Kalikimaka as a fundraiser. The more experienced haumana teach the younger haumana how to pick just the right amount of leaves, berries, and flowers from each native plant that can be used while also leaving enough of the plant intact so that it will survive. The more experienced haumana also teach how to incorporate the plant materials into a beautiful decorative Lei Kalikimaka.
