CINDY ELLEN RUSSELL / CRUSSELL@STARBULLETIN.COM Uncle Val Ching Jr. stood among his ipus. Ching, a Hawaiian cultural and resource specialist, has been making handmade nets for 33 years and ipus for four years. Currently, he is teaching two apprentices the ancient material craft, which he hopes will continue to propagate the arts of the Hawaiian mahi'ai, or common people. The festival, presented by Chevron and Punana Leo o Kawaiahao, is an annual event that benefits the nonprofit Hawaiian language immersion program.
