Kahiki is named after her favorite food the pineapple. Kahiki just loves dancing the Hula.

The sacred drumming of the Ipu Heke (gourd drum) echoes across the 'Aina (land) as Kahiki dances and chants with the Akuas (spirits) of the Ohia Forest offering her sweet yellow pineapple.

The graceful movements of her hands and body tell stories about the wonders of nature, the creation of the world and the traditions of the Hawaiian people.

Kahiki’s Tutu is her Kumu Hula (Hula Teacher). She taught her all the powerful movements of the Hula.

Tutu also hand crafted Kahiki’s gorgeous pineapple Hula outfit. She sewed a pineapple pattern double Pa’u Hula skirt with a matching top and bottom and crocheted a pineapple headdress.

Tutu handcrafted a necklace, wrist and ankle leis out of Kukui nuts, which represent spirit revealing itself, inner light, hope and renewal.

All these precious things were Tutu’s gifts of Aloha (Love) to her beloved Mo’opuna Wahine (granddaughter).
