Kau Kupulau 2022
Enjoy this panel discussion from over a decade ago with hula masters George Holokai, Edith McKenzie, Cy Bridges, Noenoe Zuttermeister-Lewis, and Nathan Napoka. “Traditions are characteristics carried over through time from one generation to the next. Tradition also depends upon time -- one person’s tradition was the innovation of another generation. For our people, Hawaiians took the good things and improved upon them; likewise with hula ... I remember Aunty Kauʻi said once, ‘You know, I’m too old to play games with anybody. And I want you to know, if we aren’t careful, we will lose our traditions.’” -- Cy Bridges
