The Symbolic Significance of the Kahili in Hawaiian Culture

Kahili is a type of feathered cloak or cape that was traditionally worn by Hawaiian royalty and chiefs. It was made from the tail feathers of the maoli (Hawaiian goose) and was considered a symbol of power and prestige. The kahili was often worn during important ceremonies and events, such as the coronation of a new king or queen, and was used to signify the wearer's high rank and status. Today, the kahili is still used in Hawaiian cultural events and is considered an important part of Hawaiian heritage and tradition.
