Hoʻoulu: Our culture shall be cultivated. Through the practices of our distant past, our inherent knowledge shall grow. Our students will lead hands-on workshops to enable all of us to preserve this knowledge. Through the vibrations of the precious gems of time past, the language of countless generations shall grow. Through three compositions, our youth will reveal the priceless value of specific
terms as they relate to our workshops today. Through the deft strokes of skilled hands, the graceful movements from deep within shall grow. You will begin to realize the abilities at your fingertips in today’s exhibits. Through the revelations of nature’s multitudes, our spirits’ connections to our greatest blessings shall grow. Become intimate with your homeland, and remember the seeds of knowledge that
have been sown today. It shall be cultivated!

“….but I have come to realize is that I can still make it happen if I dip into our tremendous amount of
resources in our community, in our ʻohana of our school, and in our kumu ….encouraging me to do
something with what I had already started in the school year, HOʻOULU AROSE! And this grew into a
full blown after school program that gave my students experience in different forms of art and
knowledge of our kupuna. I mahalo the both of you to pushing me to the next level! Mahalo nui loa!!!! I
hope that this can be something that I do annually and maybe can happen again!!!! Me ke aloha nui iā
ʻolua e nā wāhine kūpaʻa!!”

Kamehameha High School, Hawaiʻi Campus - Hāʻupu is an opera based on the legend of Hina and her son Kana. Hina, an aliʻi from Hilo, is kidnapped by Kapepeʻekauila, a rogue aliʻi from the island of Molokaʻi. In retaliation for this outrageous kidnapping, Hina's sons, Kana and Niheu mount an attack on Kapepeʻekauila's fortress at Hāʻupu on the north shore of Molokaʻi. While this daring rescue is being conceived and carried out, the unexpected happens: Hina begins to fall in love with her captor, Kapepeʻekauila. In the end, Hina is saved by her sons and Kapepeʻekauila is vanquished, although we never know the true fate of Hina's love for the Molokaʻi aliʻi. This opera was the third ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi opera in the Hōʻike series, which began in 2004. It was also the first ever hōʻike to be produced outside the school venue. After touring various spots on the island, Hāʻupu had its European premiere in Edinburgh, Scotland at the annual Festival Fringe in August 2016.
