Halau Na Maka Olali

Equity Statement

Our halau (hula dance group) is committed to perpetuating and preserving the Hawaiian culture. We believe that the rich cultural traditions of hula should be accessible and respectful to all individuals, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, age, ability, or background. We strive to create a welcoming, supportive environment where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered to participate and learn.

We actively seek to honor and preserve the cultural significance of hula while fostering an inclusive space that celebrates cultural exchange, mutual understanding, and shared respect. Our goal is to ensure that our dance community reflects the diversity of the broader community and that all members have equal opportunities to engage, contribute, and grow through the art of hula.
