Hawaiʻi Archival Film: Hawaiʻi Ponoʻi

July 8, 2025 @ 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm

A woman in a white muʻumuʻu dances hula in front of a band of five women playing instruments and singing.

HAWAI‘I PONO‘I, the newly restored 1970 film (60 minutes) is a visually stunning and poetic meditation on music, the gods in the Hawaiian pantheon, and the mystique and ancestry of Hana, Maui.

Called ”Hawai‘i’s answer to Woodstock,” the festive Ho‘olaule‘a O Hana Maui featured artists ‘Iolani Luahine, the Farden Sisters, Gabby Pahinui, Ka‘upena Wong, Palani Vaughan, and Eddie Kamae.

Sponsored by ‘Ulu ‘Ulu Moving Image Archive (UH WOAHU) and Friends of the Library Kahuku (FOLK).
