Hui o Hawaii of Sacramento
is a cultural organization founded in 1971 that perpetuates the
Hawaiian/Polynesian culture through dance, 'olelo (language), music,
and crafts. What sets Hui o Hawaii of Sacramento apart from other
groups is our focus on promoting the Hawaiian culture through education
and participation.
One
way of promoting the Hawaiian culture is through the art of hula
dancing. The haumana (student) is guided by hula instructors who
are committed to educating their students in dance, music, as well
as history and language.
As advocates for
spreading the "Aloha Spirit" and Hawaiian culture to the community,
Hui o Hawaii of Sacramento performs annually at the Pacific Rim
Street Festival and the California State Fair. Because community
involvement is very important to us, our group has performed at
charitable events such as the Ronald McDonald House Charities/Asia
Scholarship Awards Dinner, West Sacramento Senior Center, Our Lady
of Grace - Knights of Columbus, Boys and Girls Club of Dixon ...
just to name a few.
In an
effort to support the aspirations of higher education Hui o Hawaii
of Sacramento hosts an annual luau and participates in other fundraising
events that allow us to sponsor scholarships to our members.
