Check out pictures (at bottom of page) of students of Hälau Kekuaokalä'au'iliahi (Maui) learning hei (string figures) from Kumu Miki'ala Kanekoa and her helpers. Looks like they're having a lot of fun. I also liked Master Keiki Hula's honest reflection on being on stage . Go to Shutterfly to read it!

Mahalo for this wonderful blog. This was a good-fun day. Hana hei at Hanaiakamalama! Doesn't get better than that. The keiki of Kehuaokalaaualailiahi were wonderful. Each group learned a differnt hei: Nenue, Papio, or Po.
ReplyDeleteGreat big mahalo goes out to Kalani for meeting me at McDonalds so I could learn Papio. I only got to maka nui. Still gotta learn maka liilii.
