Nānākuli Hula with Uncle Kimo

Today, we were having a very special guest that knows a whole lifetime about Nanakuli, and also had family who lived here and lives here himself, Kumu Kimo Ke'aulana. He is a Hawaiian Instructor who has been teaching at Honolulu Communtiy College since 1997. He expands the significance and beauty of his culture, Hawaiian. Uncle Kimo is an absolute natural of his kind, he has taught us the meaning of "Nānākuli" by using his skills and giving us 5 different symbols. Other than the other guest speakers, he really reached out to us and made us feel comfortable which encouraged us to sing his song that he brought to share with us, the Nānākuli Hula. Uncle Kimo went throughout the whole song which is in Hawaiian so that we would understand the meaning of the song.  It was a great pleasure having Kumu Ke'aulana sharing his story and entertaining and actually connecting with us. Mahalo and Thank You Very Much.
