text:  Rowan Huffer is a leading figure in the revitalization of Kahana Kappa, making bark cloth. Kappa was once used for everything from clothing and blankets to preparing burials and embellishing sacred images. However, once cotton was introduced in the 19th century, Kappa making diminished. Rowan was the eldest daughter of the late Marie Lele Hua MacDonald, herself a National Heritage Fellow, who was recognized for her mastery of the art of laymaking.
