19.01.2022 U ka lani, ola ka honua. When the sky weeps, the earth lives. ~ Mary Kawena Pukui, 'lelo No'eau... For some, it is a simple description of the cycle between heaven and earth. But to Hawaiians, this concept is so much more. Rain was always seen as a blessing from the kpuna. When rain falls, the rivers and streams are full of fresh drinkable water, the lo'i and various patches of food are full and thriving. The land is our grandmother. When she is healthy we, too, will be provided for. That was the traditional belief. That heavenly water is not simply water, it is the water of life, ka wai a Kne, and we are connected to it, body and soul. Klia I Ka Nu'u: Hawaiian Language and Culture Performance Indicators, 2007

18.01.2022 Kumu Kawika Alfiche will be in Mullumbimby offering Hawaiian cultural workshops in hula, 'oli (chant), pule (prayer), mele (song) and lei making on 23 and 24 November at WeMove Studio. Please enjoy his latest mele that was presented at Hlau O Keikiali'i's 25th anniversary H'ike in September 2019. Kumu Kawika Keikiali`i Alfiche wrote this for a specific fog that comes once a year late summer, Kaukolo Uhiwai. Below is a blanket, above, blue skies. It's beautiful and mystic. For more information about Kumu Kawika's workshop, please email Anna Carbonell at [email protected] or call 0487 958 732.

12.01.2022 MARCH 2, 2020 HAWAII OFFICIALS POSTPONE FESTPAC 2020 DUE TO GROWING GLOBAL CONCERNS OVER COVID-19 NEWS RELEASE March 2, 2020... HONOLULU, HI Event organizers for the 13th Festival of the Pacific Arts & Culture or FESTPAC announced today it will postpone the international event due to growing global concerns over the COVID-19 outbreak. Hawaii was to host FESTPAC 2020 for eleven days in June 2020. FESTPAC organizers stressed the priority of health and safety for Hawaii residents and for all festival participants, and will continue to monitor developments surrounding COVID-19. Currently, there are no confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Hawaii. In 2016, Guam hosted the 12th FESTPAC, which drew a reported 90,000 visitors. Hawaii will remain the host for the 13th FESTPAC; however, rescheduled dates will be forthcoming. In the meantime, the FESTPAC Commission will continue its work planning for the historic occasion. FESTPAC planning will continue in order to ensure that Hawaii is prepared to be an outstanding host to our Pacific Island cousins and all who participate in this life-changing event, said Senator J. Kalani English, FESTPAC Hawaii Chairman. We want to thank all of our sponsors, supporters, and all those who have expressed interest in helping with FESTPAC Hawaii. Their assistance and ongoing support are critically important because even with this postponement, the festival will come sooner than we think. FESTPAC is a traveling festival hosted every four years by a different nation in the Pacific. It was started by the Pacific Community as a means to stem erosion of traditional cultural practices by sharing and exchanging culture at each festival. The first South Pacific Arts Festival was held in Fiji in 1972, and the name and participating nations have evolved into the Festival of Pacific Arts & Culture we know today. Only one festival has been postponed since its inception the 1984 festival slated for New Caledonia was postponed one year and relocated to French Polynesia due to political unrest. Updates for FESTPAC Hawaii will be posted at www.festpachawaii.org.
