dc.titleOral History Finding Aid: Edna Farden Bekeart
dcterms.abstractIt was a pleasure to meet and spend time with the delightful Maui native, Auntie Edna Bekeart. Two of her sisters - Irmgard Aluli and Emma Sharpe - were well-known Farden family members, but Auntie Edna led a less public life, primarily as a teacher. Yet, she had the family gift for composition, and she wrote songs alone and in collaboration with her sister, Irmgard. The many oral history sessions we did with Auntie over a period of four years helped shed light on not only this famous Maui ʻohana, but also the time period she and her many Farden siblings grew up in, and the Maui communities, people, and ways that shaped them. Numerous sessions were spent focused on Auntie’s beautiful compositions some of which have been recorded by artists such as Irmgard Aluli, Amy Hanaialii Gilliom and the group Paʻahana, to name a few.
