“Hula is the language of the heart, therefore, the heartbeat of the Hawaiian people.” Although most have heard of hula, few understand the rich cultural history and elaborate storytelling behind its fluid motions. Hula is hugely meaningful, simply in its ability to create community and carry tradition.
Preceded by: Nā Loea: Lolena’s Legacy
In a period of rapid change and fading traditions, there were a few that sought to pass down Hawaii’s native language to the younger generations. One of them is Lolena, a native speaker from Ni’ihau, Aunty to her young students. She passes down not only their precious native tongue, but also the importance of familial affection and cultural heritage.
