DESCRIPTION:Workshop Session 1 (Friday\, 2:00pm-4:00pm)\n\n"He Mele Hulu no Kapiʻolani"("Aia i Waimānalo") is from a set of three feather chants composed to commemorate Queen Kapiʻolani’s visit to Mauna Loke (Rose Mount)\, the residence and sugar plantation owned by John Adams Cummins at Waimānalo\, (son of Englishman Thomas Cummins and Chiefess Kaumakaokane Papaliʻaiʻaina.)

Waimānalo and others took the overland route over the Nuʻuanu pali. Read story from Mary Kawena Pukuʻi’s: The Echo of Our Song (159-161)

SUMMARY:Session 2: Hula ʻAuana "Kuilima Hula" (2 hrs)
DESCRIPTION:Workshop Session 2 (Friday\, 4:15pm-6:15pm)\n\n“Kuilima Hula” is a cherished Hawaiian mele written by Emma Blanchard with music composed by Val Kepilino\, celebrating the natural splendor and warm hospitality of Kuilima on the island of Oahu. The song poetically praises the beauty of the land with the line “He nani Kuilima\,” portraying it as a beloved and welcoming home\, “Kuʻu home hoʻokipa ka nui mālihini\,” where countless visitors are embraced with aloha. Closely associated with the area now known as Turtle Bay Resort\, formerly the Kuilima Resort\, along Oahu’s scenic North Shore near Kahuku and Kawela Bay\, the mele reflects themes of hospitality\, unity\, and joyful relaxation. Frequently performed in hula\, it captures the spirit of “Kipa hoʻonanea me ke aloha\,” expressing the idea of visiting and finding delight in love and companionship. The name “Kuilima\,” meaning “to bind hands” or “holding hands\,” beautifully symbolizes connection and togetherness\, echoing the enduring sense of community and welcome embodied in the song.

SUMMARY:Session 4: Wai Hoʻoluʻu (Natural Dye Bath) (2 hrs)
DESCRIPTION:Workshop Session 4 (11:15am-1:15pm)\n\nHawaiian dyeing of kapa with natural plants refers to the traditional method used by Native Hawaiians to color and decorate kapa\, a barkcloth made primarily from the wauke (paper mulberry) plant.\nKapa was dyed using plant-based pigments gathered from the Hawaiian environment. \nThe dyes were extracted by pounding\, soaking\, or fermenting plant materials. The colored liquid was then applied to the kapa by brushing\, soaking\, or stamping with carved bamboo tools (ʻohe kāpala) to create geometric patterns and symbolic designs.\nThis natural dyeing process reflects deep knowledge of the land and a strong cultural connection to the environment\, making kapa both functional and artistically meaningful in traditional Hawaiian society.\n\nPlease note this hana noʻeau workshop includes a&nbsp\;separate materials fee of $30\, in&nbsp\;addition to the conference registration fee.

DESCRIPTION:Workshop Session 5 (2:00pm-4:00pm)\n\nThis workshop explores the lei haku method\, a braiding technique traditionally done with ti leaf.

Participants will work toward completing a kupeʻe (wrist lei)\, ensuring they learn how to properly start and finish the braid. This class requires over-braiding of the flora\; participants who are accustomed to under-braiding should be prepared to adjust their technique.Materials & PreparationParticipants are strongly encouraged to bring their own fresh plant materials for use in the workshop. Flowers and greenery may be gathered from your yard\, neighborhood\, local parks (where permitted)\, or shared by friends.

Please avoid carnations or flowers with thick\, bulky bases\, as they are difficult to work with for this technique.For greenery\, especially items commonly available in Las Vegas\, consider ti leaf (from nurseries or Asian markets)\, mock orange\, citrus leaves (lemon\, lime\, or orange)\, eucalyptus\, myrtle\, olive branches\, rosemary\, or florist ferns such as leatherleaf. These provide both structure and fragrance and are easy to prepare. Part of the learning experience is discovering how to work with plants that grow around you.As an alternative\, a limited selection of flowers and greenery will be available for purchase on the day of the workshop for $20.Please also bring:\nHand clippersA small spray bottle&nbsp\;(for misting and keeping materials fresh)Before class\, clean and prepare your materials by trimming most stems to about 1–2 inches in length (bougainvillea may be left longer).

SUMMARY:Session 5: Hula ʻAuana "Kuʻu Home i Kuliʻouʻou" (2 hrs)
DESCRIPTION:Workshop Session 5 (2:00pm-4:00pm)\n\nIn the words of Kimo: \n“In our Papa Mele Wahi Pana of Honolulu songs at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa onTuesday\, June 24\, 2003\, it was realized that we had no song for Kuliʻouʻou. I composed and translated this mele on June 27\, 2003. This song is dedicated to Pohai Souza and the place where she makes her home\, Kuliʻouʻou\, Oʻahu. Although I have never been to her home\, Pohai says that the description here is pretty much an accurate picture of her home!”

SUMMARY:Session 6: Wai Hoʻoluʻu (Natural Dye Bath) (2 hrs)
DESCRIPTION:Workshop Session 6 (4:15pm-6:15pm)\n\nHawaiian dyeing of kapa with natural plants refers to the traditional method used by Native Hawaiians to color and decorate kapa\, a barkcloth made primarily from the wauke (paper mulberry) plant.Kapa was dyed using plant-based pigments gathered from the Hawaiian environment.The dyes were extracted by pounding\, soaking\, or fermenting plant materials. The colored liquid was then applied to the kapa by brushing\, soaking\, or stamping with carved bamboo tools (ʻohe kāpala) to create geometric patterns and symbolic designs.This natural dyeing process reflects deep knowledge of the land and a strong cultural connection to the environment\, making kapa both functional and artistically meaningful in traditional Hawaiian society.Please note this hana noʻeau workshop includes a separate materials fee of $30\, in addition to the conference registration fee. An invoice will be emailed to you within 48 hours of registering. Payment is due within 48 hours of receiving the invoice\; unpaid reservations will be released to allow others to participate.Mahalo for your kōkua and understanding.

SUMMARY:Session 7: Hula Kahiko "Kākuhihewa" (2 hrs)
DESCRIPTION:Workshop Session 7 (Sunday\, 9:00am-11:00am)\n\nKākuhihewa was born at Kūkaniloko\, in the sleeping-place consecrated by the kapu of Liloe. He was the son of Kaihikapu-a-Manuia\, 14th Alii Aimoku of O‘ahu\, and of his wife Kaunui-a-Kanehoalani\, the daughter of Kanehoalani\, who was the grandson of Lo-Lale. Kaunui's mother was Kualoakalailai\, whose parentage is lost to the ages\, but was of the Kalehenui branch of the Maweke line. From thence\, he was taken to Ho‘olonopahu by his maternal grandfather\, Kanehoalani. Forty-eight chiefs of the highest rank\, conspicuous among whom were Makokau\, Ihukolo\, Ka‘aumakua\, Pakapakauana\, were present at the ceremony of cutting the navel-string of the newborn chief. The two sacred drums\, named "Opuku" and "Hawea\," announced the august event to the multitude. Several kahu (attendants) were duly appointed to watch over and bring up the heir-apparent\, whose childhood was principally passed between Waipio\, Waiawa\, and Manana in the Ewa district.
