Students from Aloha Victor’s Hālau Kala‘akeakauikawekiu of Kona learn hei (string figures) from Miki‘ala Kanekoa, a kumu hula friend of ours and teacher at Kapolei High School. The Hālau is also learning from Elder Punihaole. They also learn pala'ie, a Hawaiian ball and loop game.
Beautiful footage of Kona!
