Inspired by the hula and mele presentations Mrs. Pukui organized in Hawaiian Hall during her tenure at Bishop Museum and throughout Hawaiʻi paeʻāina, the program draws upon research by Pelehonuamea Harman and Kimo Alama Keaulana and Pukui’s own program notes to bring forward traditional hula and mele that are rarely seen or practiced today.
