Visit the Villages of Ancient Hawaii!
with
Kumuola
In the interest of supporting all local endeavors that
perpetuate Hawaiian Culture, we offer a glimpse of a promising venture.
Kumuola - The tree of life.
A Venue to Express the Passions and Traditions of Hawaii
The resurgence of Hawaiian Culture, ancient and modern...
Situated right here in the heart of Waikiki.
Yes, it's
amazing but true. There IS... Hawaiian culture in Waikiki.
And it can be
found in the heart of the International Market Place.
Aside from featuring many Polynesian Hula Shows and local Hawaiian musicians in daily or nightly
events, and South Seas Cinema nights, the ohana developing Kumuola bring
many things of Old Hawaii back to life and allow the kama'aina as well
as malihini a fabulous opportunity to reconnect or even to first make
contact with that which all who touch these shores by rights should do;
introduce themselves to the host culture... get to know it. Learn a
little respect towards the ancient (which is still alive) culture of
Hawai'i.
Kumuola, with their many events and classes being
formed will allow hundreds to be touched with the wisdom of Hawai'i.

practitioners are vital parts of our Hawaiian community and have come to
share their gifts, passed down from generation to generation given
directly from Kupuna, many of whom have passed over.
