Hawaiian Puaʻa (Pigs)
Although many people these days think of feral pigs as a pest, the Hawaiian pig is an important part of traditional island life. The Hawaiian pig is found at Luau or gatherings feeding the community, and in the stories and mythological tales of ancient times.
Our Hālau
The Hālau Hula has existed for centuries as the sacred space for the formal teachings of Hawaiian dance and culture. Where Kumu (teacher) and haumāna (student) come together to preserve and perpetuate the culture of hula. It is a physical space but more importantly it is a place where mind, body, and spirit are aligned and nourished. That hālau have existed throughout the generations proves the values and lessons promoted there are timeless and useful to our community and to others.
