Meet the Pueo, a mascot that's both cute and deeply rooted in Hawaiian culture. The Pueo is a subspecies of the short-eared owl, endemic to the Hawaiian islands, and it holds a special place in local lore 🐦. In Hawaiian mythology, the Pueo is often associated with ʻaumākua, or ancestor spirits, making it a symbol of wisdom and guidance. At schools like Maui Prep and Chiefess Kamakahelei Middle, the Pueo mascot represents more than just a cute face; it embodies the values of wisdom, direction, and community. For instance, Maui Prep's Pueo is linked to the legend of Pueo-nui-akea, an owl that helps wandering souls find their way. This mascot isn't just a symbol; it's a part of the rich cultural heritage of Hawaii ⭐. So, if you ever come across a Pueo mascot, remember it's not just an owl – it's a guardian of wisdom and tradition.
