Ka’imiloa Chrisman, Hawaiian culture practitioner, scholar and researcher, answers a question from the audience on what we can do to promote the aloha spirit in our Halau. www.hawaiian-culture.com. www.arizonahula.com. For more information on the speaker and our organization. Thanks for listening.

This is Kumu Hula Kehau Chrisman’s response to the question, “why is it that Hawaiian people look different from Mainland people dancing hula?”

There are many different styles of hula. Hula ku’i is just one of the more common styles of hula.

Hawaiians say Happy New Year, but in Ancient Hawai’i the term Makahiki meant something very different.
