Aloha e, everyone. Our halau’s upcoming trip to Hilo starts this week, July 31. Some of you are already in Hawai’i. Some of us leave shortly. While in Hilo, we will visit places such as Puna, Kalapana, Kilauea, Ka’u, Hamakua Coast, Laupahoehoe, Waipio … just to name a few. Each place will be significant to the lessons we will learn. We will have workshops each night including pahu-drum making, weaving, chanting, voyaging and mo’olelo (story-telling).

Our days will also be filled with ono kau kau (food) and some of us will sample “local grinds” for the very first time! And if what you eat is not to your liking, do NOT throw it away because there’s always going to be one of us locals hovering over you “hoping” that you don’t like it; and who will be more than happy to rid you of your distaste for opihi, poi, poke or dried aku!!

We will gather with our two sister halau, Kawaipu’ilani (Kumu Keith) and Na Po’e Ao Hiwa (Kumu Kimo) and will culminate with a Ho’ike at the University of Hawai’i-Hilo on Aug. 7 (5:00PM dinner followed by a 7:00PM performance in the UH-Hilo’s theatre).

This trip will be a time for bonding, learning, eating, experiencing, sharing, eating, laughing, crying (good kine, tho’) and oh, did I mention eating?! But above all … to learn as much as we can about our beautiful Hawaiian Culture and how to malama it with deepest respect and aloha. Please use this blog site to share your experiences as you go through the days in Hilo. Post whatever experience(s) you want to share with your hula sisters and brothers who couldn’t make the trip. This will be our way of including them in spirit and heart.

Aloha,

(Aunty) Ku’ulei
