Traditional Hawaiian Fishing in Maui: Coastal Waters, 1957

Captured along the coastal waters of Maui in 1957, this photograph shows a local man and woman practicing traditional Hawaiian fishing methods. Using a wooden box to trap fish in the shallow waters, the technique reflects the indigenous practices of Hawaii, possibly he'e nalu (octopus fishing). This image beautifully showcases the preservation of Hawaiian culture and traditions in the mid-20th century.
