This
project investigated changes in hula traditions over the last
100 years. We documented hula dance traditions, lei-making and
other crafts, mele chants and modern music, and musical instruments.
We worked with Moana's Hula Halau and conducted interviews with
many of the residents of Moloka'i. This project received
partial funding from Mr. Don Levy of San Francisco. Fieldwork conducted 1999-2000.
