Veneeta's Book Launch

Monday afternoon, October 28, Andrea and I went to Manoa Heritage Center for her halau's performance with the Paris halau for Veneeta's book launch. Veneeta wrote a book about the ahupuaʻa of Waikīkī called Waikīkī.


We arrived early and when Kilohahana got there, practice began.


They drilled linups, entrances, and exits.


The Paris halau had been there earlier working with hau bark.


Practice hula, "Waikīkī."


After the guests arrived at 2:30, the performances got underway.


Veneeta's discussions of the book were interleaved with related hula.


Maile did a solo hula.


At the end of the event everyone posed for a group photo.
