WHAT WE DO

Here at Kaulana Ka Hale Kula O Na Pua O Ka 'Aina, we see the value in everyone. We want to be a catalyst for positive change, and since our beginnings in 2000, we’ve been driven by the same ideas we initially founded our Non-Profit Organization upon: support, empowerment and progress.

It is the mission of the Halau to promote, perpetuate, and maintain the teachings, values, beliefs, practices, wisdom, traditional understanding and philosophies of the Hawaiian People.

Ho’imaikaʻi ana e Kaulana Ka Hale Kula ʻO Nā Pua ʻO Ka ʻĀina on twenty-five wonderful years of perpetuating the culture of our kupuna. To be a continent born and raised kānaka can be an isolating one, and one devoid of the values and ways that we come from, so to have a home in this hula halau where we can connect, grow, and learn, has been a privilege. Over the years we have expanded our hālau into a woven group of individuals who love hula, our islands, and each other, and I am forever grateful for being a part of this ʻohana.
Over the next twenty-five years, I look forward to seeing the new faces who will continue the lineage of our halau and our culture and how they connect with that haumāna who have come before. Kūlia i ka nu’u!

Many of my fondest memories in my early adulthood include Uncle Randy and the Chang family. I will forever cherish these moments! May our Heavenly Father continue to shine his light on you and this Halau for many years to come!
Aloha Nō!

When I found Uncle Randy and Kaulana Ka Hale Kula O Nā Pua O Ka ʻĀina, I found ʻohana. Hālau brought home within reach. The tough love, the sister and brotherhood, the laughing ʻtil we cried and crying ʻtil we laughed moments created bonds that remain all these years later.
Hoʻomaikaʻi on 25 years of hula and aloha and memories to last forever. I am proud and privileged to have been there for part of this incredible journey and hula legacy. Ke aloha nui!
