The sacred drumming of the Ipu Heke (gourd drum) echoes across the 'Aina (land) as Ko Olina dances and chants with the Akuas (spirits) of the Island.

Dancing with her little sister Ku’uipo, the graceful movements of their hands and bodies tell stories about the wonders of nature, the creation of the world and the traditions of the Hawaiian people.

The Menehune Ohana (family) watches in awe as the harmony of Ipu Heke, Hula and chant attunes them to spirit and gladdens their heart.

Ko Olina’s Tutu (grandmother) is her Kumu Hula (Hula Teacher). She taught her the powerful chants and movements of the Hula. Tutu and Ko Olina share a deep bond of love and unity.

Tutu sewed Ko Olina 's bikini top and pants and crafted her traditional grass skirt.

Tutu wove her Mana (spiritual energy) and Aloha into Ko Olina’s green, yellow and red Haku (head lei), wrist and ankle leis. In Hawaii the Hulu (feather) is believed to link to the divine.

Last Tutu strung and wrapped a conch shell necklace around Ko Olina’s neck.

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