Journey to Emalani

Posted on November 30, 2011 in Hawaii, Culture, Dance, Entertainment

Viewers of Hawaiian Skies were recently treated to a special documentary entitled “Journey to Emalani,” chronicling a hula festival featuring three talented halau, or schools.

The festival is held yearly in commemoration of a journey taken in 1871 by Queen Emma Naea Rooke to the upland forests of Kokee in West Kaua‘i. It is a powerful evocation of a time and a spirit that have persevered through the ages.
