Kulaia: One Community, One Wa`a

Last Friday on the closed main street of Kaunakakai town, children spoke Hawaiian fluidly. Community members pounded poi while shop owners told ancestral stories through their handmade crafts.
Hawaiian culture was alive and well at Molokai’s second annual Kulaia, a celebration whose purpose was reconnecting with traditions of the past.
“I like the idea that it’s a historical event that we’re trying to revive in our own Molokai way,” said resident Pulama Lima.
“… I think it brings our community together in a way that people look at us as this model of aloha and this model of why we still continue this life of subsistence.”
An event that once accompanied outrigger races and national holidays in mid-1800s Hawaii, Kulaia was planned to accompany this year’s Na Wahine O Ke Kai.
While the race was cancelled the next day due to weather, paddlers and local families still got a chance to celebrate community and culture.
