This beautiful Hawaiian quilt depicts traditional crescent fans called pe'ahi, made of intricately woven coconut fibre, human hair & plaited pandanus leaf, intermingled with pandanus fronds. The Museum has 3 pe'ahi in the collections but elsewhere very few have survived intact.

A teal background with text reading: 'pack your extra socks or sandles', over graphics of pink socks and yellow crocs
4. Overlooked, but bringing extra socks can really save your feet on long hiking or field walking days! And adding a light pair of sandles for the drive home is always a treat. #CanArch 🏺

A teal background with text reads "don't forget Sunscreen and a hat!', over little images of sun glasses, a sun hat, and SPF'

A teal background with text reads: Always bring electrolytes, with a little graphic of a pink water bottle saying 'stay hydrated'.
2. Electrolytes are vital if you are working in hot climates. Grab some Mio sport, Gu or Nuun tablets, & keep them in your bag for when temperatures rise. They will help you stay hydrated! #CanArch 🏺
