It is representative of HPS’s public programming from our first decade as a non-profit.Item Panel Finding Aid: Treasured Elders Kūpuna Panel, 2003(Hula Preservation Society, 2022) Hula Preservation SocietyThis kūpuna panel was held at the Bishop Museum in conjunction with the Museum’s landmark hula exhibit, which HPS had the pleasure of contributing to. The one-day festival entitled "Kuʻu One Hānau" featured this public program by HPS and is representative of our community programs in the first decade.Item Panel Finding Aid: Tribute to Iolani Luahine – Maui, 2005(Hula Preservation Society, 2022) Hula Preservation SocietyHPS offered extensive programming in the 2nd Ka ʻAha Hula ʻO Hālauaola World Conference on Hula, including a tribute to the legendary Kumu ʻIolani Luahine. HPS’s presentation featured Auntie Queenie Dowsett & Uncle George Naope, along with filmmaker, Tip Davis, who produced the 1978 piece “ʻIolani Luahine, Hawaiian Dancer” (it aired only once on public television shortly after her passing). HPS held numerous ʻIolani Luahine tributes of this sort over our first decade, in recognition of her prominence in the history, practice, and perpetuation of hula.Item Panel Finding Aid: Iolani Luahine Festival Panel, 2007(Hula Preservation Society, 2022) Hula Preservation SocietyFor several years, HPS worked in partnership with Uncle George Naope and his alakaʻi, Kumu Iwalani Kalima, on the annual He Lei Hiwa No ʻIolani (ʻIolani Luahine Competition and Festival), held in Kailua-Kona, Hawaiʻi. This talk-story took place after the competition portion was completed, and the hope was that through hearing the stories of the elders who knew her, and seeing her hula and movements in the film, the ʻōpio in the competition would feel closer to this legendary namesake of the Festival. At this year’s Festival, a large assembling of elders and ‘ohana to Auntie ‘Io reflected on their lives with her. HPS also arranged for filmmaker, Tip Davis, to show his 30-minute piece “ʻIolani Luahine, Hawaiian Dancer” which featured Auntie ʻIo and her hula. They shot the footage together in the 1970s, and it aired once on public television after her passing in 1978.Item Panel Finding Aid: Iolani Luahine Festival Panel, 2005(Hula Preservation Society, 2022) Hula Preservation SocietyFor several years, HPS worked in partnership with Uncle George Naope and his alakaʻi, Kumu Iwalani Kalima, on the annual He Lei Hiwa No ʻIolani (ʻIolani Luahine Competition and Festival), held in Kailua-Kona, Hawaiʻi.
