Winter Pineapple Classic -- The Cox Story

This event started as a wild idea of Seattle local, Eric Cox, as a vibrant way to drive cancer awareness. But, as many of these inspired events do, the genesis of the Pineapple lies in a family’s experience with the disease.

A blurb appeared in the May, 2007 issue of the University of Hawai`i’s alumni magazine, MALAMALAMA: that the Regents’ Medal of Distinction was awarded posthumously to a young woman reputed to be the first woman (and the first African American) to earn a Masters’ degree from UH.

From the Editor

Aloha from Hilo, where in the span of one week, we experienced: hurricane warnings, two earthquakes, a tsunami, brush fires and lava flows!

Mo`olelo O Nā Ali`i

The mo‘olelo of the arrival of Cook on Kaua‘i began to spread to the other islands. Ka‘eokūlani, ali‘i of Kaua‘i, sent messengers to O‘ahu to share what had happened and to describe the appearance of foreigners.

Hō`ike!

One of the big events over the summer is the Ke Kukui Foundation and Kaleinani o Ke Kukui's three-day Hula & Craft Workshop, Hō`ike and Hawaiian Festival in Vancouver, Washington where renown Kumu hula Robert Cazimero, Manu Boyd and Vicki Holt Takamine come to share their mana`o.

Pipeline Helps Isle Athletes Reach Dreams

Foodstuffs: Poke Contest and Hawaiian Festival a Big Success

With an atmosphere filled with Mai Tai’s and aloha shirts, the elegant dining room of Yama At The Galleria restaurant in Bellevue, looked more like the Polynesian Cultural Center then the upscale Asian fusion eatery that it is.

Life is...HULA

Hālau is located in Federal Way. 'Olelo (Hawaiian language) class is on Monday evening, followed by 'oli (chanting) class. Tuesday is reserved for beginners, followed by the advanced.

Nā Mana`o Ulu Wale
