In Loving Memory

MHC’s co-founder, Mary M. Cooke (1936-2022)

Remembering Mary

Come and be inspired!

A guided tour of Mānoa Heritage Center gardens and Kūkaʻōʻō Heiau introduces visitors to the beauty of Hawaiʻi’s unique cultural and natural heritage.

MHC Public Programming Update

Aloha mai kākou,

We have reopened for tours of 8 people (max) on weekday afternoons and select Saturday mornings. Please see Event Calendar for specific dates and times.

Please visit the Event Calendar above to register for a tour.

In addition, we ask if you are not feeling well, to please consider staying home and rescheduling your visit.

Thank you for helping us to keep our community safe. We hope to see you soon!

During these uncertain times, we want to leave you with this quote shared by our friends at the Polynesian Voyaging Society:

“We are each made for goodness, love, and compassion.  Our lives are transformed as much as the world is when we live with these truths.”

– Archbishop Desmond Mpilo Tutu

PLAN A VISIT

Enjoy this introduction to Mānoa Heritage Center created by recent Mid-Pacific graduate Garrison Lagapa (class of 2018). This short film was a senior project, and part of receiving his Hawaiian Studies certificate.

If you enjoy hula or want to learn for the first time, join Kumu Collette Leimomi Akana of Hālau Hula O Nā Momi Makamae in her Papa Hula a ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi 8-class Saturday workshop series. Over the course of 8 sessions, participants will learn and practice basic hand and feet motions, learn a hula, and practice reading, writing, and speaking the Hawaiian language. Register on our website (linked in bio) by going to the Event Calendar or by clicking the link in our story (will be saved to highlights when the story is gone). **Please note that dates were changed after we added the workshop to our website and we weren’t able to update the calendar to fully reflect that change, so it is still set for the original dates of March 4-April 22 but will be for March 11-April 29. We apologize if this causes any confusion! Correct dates are listed at the top of the registration form and in this announcement. #ManoaHeritageCenter #MānoaValley #PapaHulaAŌleloHawaii #HulaWorkshop #MaKaHanaKaIkeWorkshops #LearnHula #LearnŌleloHawaii #HulaDancing #HawaiianLanguage
