What can we discover about a place by exploring the histories of those who once lived there–and those who live there still ? In what ways do cultures build upon each other as populations come and go? How do they complement each other, interact, and leave their marks on the people that come after them? And are cultures truly ever lost, even if the people move on or evolve and adapt? Lost Cultures: Living Legacies—the award-winning podcast from Travel + Leisure—returns for Season 2. This season, we’re diving into the stories of vibrant communities around the globe, including the Kānaka Maoli of Hawai‘i, the Sámi of Norway, the Baghdadi Jewish community of India, and more!

In this episode of Lost Cultures: Living Legacies, we journey to the Hawaiian islands to explore the deep roots and living traditions of Kānaka Maoli, the Native Hawaiian people. Our guests, all Kānaka Maoli, include Dr. Uluwehi Hopkins, a professor of Hawaiian and world history, Evan Mokuahi Hayes, a cultural practitioner and founder of Detour Hawai‘i and Hawaiian Tour Co., and Hokulani Holt Padilla, a renowned kumu hula. Together, they lead us through Hawai‘i’s layered past, from Polynesian voyaging and the rise of the Hawaiian Kingdom to colonization, statehood, and the islands’ vibrant cultural renaissance. Through their lived experiences and ancestral knowledge, they reveal how Hawaiians continue to reclaim, protect, and celebrate their heritage. They also share thoughtful insight on how visitors can engage with the islands in a respectful and meaningful way.
