Went to the American Indian Museum to bid a final aloha to the Hokulea. It is impossible to underestimate the importance of the Hokulea to not only Hawai’i but all of Polynesia. NPR honored her with a super piece about her history and the current voyage. Check it out.
Had a great time. Talk story. Lots of hugs. Chickenskin singing Hawai’i Pono’i with the Kamehameha School alumni. Humbled to be called “honored kupuna”. Much aloha.
And then – Black and White Time at the Botanical Gardens.
