    Visitors of the Makahiki festival at Bellows Air Force Station in Waimanalo, Hawaii, Nov. 20, enjoyed a paina, or feast, which included traditional foods including taro, poi, steamed rice and lomi lomi salmon. Lasting from October until February, the Makahiki season honors the Hawaiian god Lono, the guardian of peace and health, as he arrives for the transition from Ku, a time of war, politics and construction, to Lono, a time of relaxation and celebration of life.
