2011 Hālau O ʻAulani Haumana

Hālau O ʻAulaniʻs hōʻike was wonderful! The haumana shared aloha with an audience delighted by the effort and beauty displayed in an assortment of Tahitian and Hawaiian hula.

Mahalo nui loa to all our friends who attended the hōʻike!

On Monday, March 14, 2011, during the 5th Annual Hawaiian Caucus Day at the Hawaiʻi State Capitol, the Hawaiʻi House of Representatives presented certificates of recognition to four outstanding individuals for their contributions. Hālau O ʻAulaniʻs own Aunty Kanani Awai was one of the honored recipients:

Kupuna Dorothy Kanani Awai, of Haleiwa, is recognized for her endless sharing and giving of her aloha and musical talents, giving her time, love, and support to numerous community events for decades. As a Hawaiian studies teacher and an ukulele instructor, Kupuna Awai has blessed our keiki with her mana’o, planted seeds of aloha, and taught the fundamentals of traditional Hawaiian music thereby perpetuating Hawaiian culture for our future generations.
