Must Watch: Living The Sacred Teachings of Aloha

The ances­tral know­ledge of the Hawaii­an people was handed from gen­er­a­tion to gen­er­a­tion through an oral tra­di­tion. Stu­dents were chosen and placed into a school of learn­ing; from that moment for­ward the stu­dent lived the teach­ings of his ancest­ors. Know­ledge, his­tory, and gene­a­logy are pre­served in dance, chant, song, and stor­ies. Con­stant prac­tice and repe­ti­tion was admin­istered until mas­tery was demon­strated in every word and tone. On the island of Molokai, in the val­ley of Halawa this cul­tur­al prac­tice still survives.

Kana­ka Maoli, Kumu Lawrence Kalain­ia Kamani Aki is the 50^th gen­er­a­tion Kumu of his Hawaii­an Halau lin­eage, which is a tra­di­tion­al school of ancient know­ledge from the island of Molokai. Born in the val­ley of Halawa on the island of Molokai, Kumu Lawrence is respec­ted through­out Hawaii nei often sought after for all man­ner of sac­red rituals & pro­tocol of cere­mon­ies. He has ded­ic­ated his life to pre­serving & per­petu­at­ing the cul­tur­al tra­di­tions of his ancest­ors for sev­er­al decades.
