hoʻokipa kaiāulu

Hoʻokipa Kaiāulu is a community-rooted cultural program that provides ongoing, practitioner-led experiences in hula, mele, mahina practices, and ancestral Hawaiian knowledge. Hosted at Hale Līhuʻe, the program creates hands-on opportunities for residents and visitors to learn directly from Native Hawaiian cultural practitioners in an intimate, respectful setting. Through these gatherings, Hoʻokipa Kaiāulu supports cultural perpetuation, strengthens community connection, and creates meaningful opportunities for practitioners to share ʻike Hawaiʻi.

Supported by Hawaii Tourism Authority Community Enrichment Program and Hawaiian Telcom.
