Greta Mae "Puanani" Kanemura Van Dorpe (née Greta Mae Kanemura; 1933–2014) was an American artist and master of kapa, the traditional Hawaiian art of making cloth from bark fibers. Van Dorpe spent more than forty years researching the forgotten craft of making kapa, investigating the tools and materials used by ancient Hawaiians and experimenting to replicate the cloth. She has been credited as one of the women responsible for reviving the art of kapa in the 1970s.
