Kaiāulu Resource Center
Our Lāhui and the people, places, and practices contained within it are of utmost importance to us. Therefore, as part of the Hoʻolau Kanaka Festival each year, we are excited to include presentations and resources from a number of our community partners to provide information and support to our festival attendees.
