ʻO ke kahua ma mua, ma hope ke kūkulu
This year NHKOP is celebrating twenty years of growth, not only in size but reach within the Maui community. The growth of the hālau exemplifies the theme for Hōʻike 2023 ~ʻO ke kahua ma mua, ma hope ke kūkulu (ʻŌlelo Noʻeau 2459). The site first, and then the building. Learn all you can, then practice. Inā ʻaʻole nō paʻa ke kahua, e pilikia auaneʻi. If the foundation of your learning is not made firm, problems will surely arise to test that foundation. Hōʻike 2023 showcases 20 years of teaching, learning and building the kahua (foundational knowledge) for the next (7) generations and beyond of learners and leaders in Nā Hanona Kūlike ʻO Piʻilani.
Nā Hanona Kūlike ʻO Piʻilani
On May 3, 2003, NHKOP became a formal part of the cultural fabric of hula, chant, and Hawaiian protocol on the island of Maui. Its foundation is based on the legacy and lineage of Kumu John Keola Lake that includes rich traditions of cultural practitioners and kumu hula from the islands of Maui, Hawaiʻi, and Oʻahu. NHKOP has just over 100 cultural practitioners dedicated to various areas of traditional Hawaiian studies with specific focus in the areas of oli, pule, hula and traditional art forms. They continue to manifest cultural traditions and beliefs for the 21st century based on ancestral wisdom and traditions. Over the years NHKOP has participated in cultural exchanges abroad where haumāna not only shared but also learned about the local cultural practices and protocols.
