historic events that helped to shape Waikīkī into what we see it as
today. Participants will build an awareness of the significance of
the “Wahi Pana” of Waikīkī as both a sacred place to Hawaiians
and a living history in the modern world. It is our kuleana
(responsibility) as hosts of our place to understand and know the
lineage of our historical leaders, their cultural legacy, and how
their decisions impact our community in modern times.
