Oral History Finding Aid: Irene Lum Ho

Abstract

Auntie Irene was part of our research on Maui hula lines. It was suggested we talk with her to try and find out more about Elizabeth Lum Ho, a Maui Kumu who would often come up in discussions with the island’s hula people. We were able to make contact and enjoyed a day of talk-story with Auntie Irene who was a most pleasant and enjoyable host! Elizabeth Lum Ho was her husband’s auntie, and being around the ʻohana, Auntie Irene heard about Maui families, hula folks, and kumu hula from across the island. We are grateful she shared her recollections and remembrances with HPS.
