A Trip to Volcano

     On Friday, June 1, 2012, Native Hawaiian cultural practitioners Leilehua Yuen and Manu Josiah will lead a Powwow Staff Huaka`i ma Kïlauea (Trip to the Volcano) to conduct protocols honoring Pele, the Hawaiian goddess of the volcano. They will share stories and chants related to Pele, and teach the making of a ho`okupu (offering bundle) in this sharing between traditional cultures.
     The staff, guests, participating drums and dancers will gather at 7:00 am at Moku Ola for pïkai (preparation ceremony), and then travel by bus, graciously provided by Connections Charter School, to Kïlauea and return about 11:00 am.
If you would like to join this wonderful cultural offering please contact Leilehua. Seats are available to other Powwow participants on a space available basis.
     Health Advisory: Those with respiratory and/or heart conditions should check with their physicians first and, if approved, be sure to bring appropriate medications such as emergency inhalers and epi-pens.
     There is no charge for this event.
