Panel Finding Aid: Tribute to Iolani Luahine – Maui, 2005

Abstract

HPS 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.
