Sharing another moment from Hōʻike 2026: KEAOMELEMELE

Paliuli is devastated to learn of her husband’s betrayal. Waka flies on a great sea bird to Mauna Kea and brings Kahanaiakeakua back. Paliuli is overjoyed, but as soon as they are asleep, Poli’ahu enters and convinces him to return with her to Mauna Kea. This time, Poliahu uses her mana to blanket the mountain in snow so they cannot be found by Waka. Paliuli determines to leave in search of her husband.

E Ala E Keaomelemele!

Sharing another one of the beautiful hula from this year’s Hōʻike.

From the synopsis:
Mo’oinanea announces to Hina that she will bear another child, but not in the conventional way. She will be a child more powerful than her brother and sister. As Hina sleeps, Mo’oinana takes a drop of blood from Hina’s forehead.

The drop of blood becomes a girl - Keaomelemele. Clouds gather to dance in her honor.
