PUEO

In Hawaiian culture, PUEO (Hawaiin Owl), is a revered ,aumakua, or family guardian spirit.

It symbolizes protection, wisdom, and good fortune, often believed to be a messenger

of ancestral guidance and a harbinger of significant omens.

So the Pueo is the perfect symbol to safely guide the children of the Likelike Elementary school into the future.

Many, many thanks to

the Gangway Gallery & spectra foundation

Fun Fact: the four stars on the owls cheak are the constellation of stars that showed ancient sailors their way to Hawaii.
