2021 Wahine Kahiko Performance | Hālau Hula Olana

The wahine of Hālau Hula Olana performs “ʻO Laʻieikawai, Ka Wahine Piʻo ʻĀnuenue”, under the direction of Kumu hula Olana & Howard Ai and Shelsea Ai Apana.

The story of Lāʻieikawai is as timeless and tragic as the great love stories found in history books. Her beauty was beyond compare and she was highly desired by many aliʻi.

She dwelled in the heights of Paliuli resting on the wings of birds, guarded by Waka and the Maile sisters and followed by a rainbow, a sign of her royal heritage. Lāʻieikawai marries Kaʻōnohiokalā and dwells with him in the highest Heaven of Kahakaekaea.
