This evening of mele, moʻolelo, and memory honors Pukui’s enduring influence through the voices of her descendants, collaborators, and those inspired by her life’s work. Together, we celebrate her profound contributions to Hawaiian language, song, and story, and the legacy that continues to flourish through generations.\nHawaiian Hall Stage Program\nKamehameha Schools Children’s Choir\nThe program begins with the joyful voices of keiki from Kamehameha Schools, whose songs remind us that the seeds of aloha ʻāina and ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi continue to thrive among our youth. Their performance honors the spiritual and cultural foundation that Mary Kawena Pukui helped to build.\nKe Ala a ka Jeep\nTalk Story with Myrna Kamae\nBeloved musician and cultural advocate Myrna Kamae shares stories about the creation of “Ke Ala a ka Jeep,” a mele that captures moments of travel, humor, and aloha from the heart of Kaʻū.

Her reflections illuminate the bridges between mele, memory, and movement across generations.\nKaʻū Through Kawena’s Eyes\nTalk Story with Laʻakea Suganuma\nPukui’s grandson, Laʻakea Suganuma, reads from his personal journal recounting a field trip he took with his grandmother to Kaʻū around 1960.
