For Immediate Release: February 27, 2017 HTA Release (17-05) Hawai‘i Tourism Authority Supporting 128 Hawaiian Culture, Environment and Community Programs in 2017 Funding Supports Kūkulu Ola, Aloha ‘Āina, and Community Enrichment Programs HONOLULU – The Hawai‘i Tourism Authority (HTA) announced today that funding support is being awarded this year to 128 programs statewide that are helping to perpetuate Hawaiian culture, preserve Hawai‘i’s natural resources, and present community festivals and events. Altogether, HTA is providing more than $3.3 million in funding to organizations committed to supporting Hawai‘i’s legacy through the three components of its Product Enrichment Program (see the listing of awardees below). • Thirty-one (31) Hawaiian culture-based programs are receiving funding support from HTA through its Kūkulu Ola Program. • Thirty (30) environment-based programs are receiving funding support from HTA through its Aloha ‘Āina Program. • Sixty-seven (67) community-based programs are receiving funding support from HTA through its Community Enrichment Program. George D. Szigeti, HTA president and CEO, said, “HTA’s funding is supporting organizations devoted to enriching and strengthening our communities through exceptional and memorable experiences for residents and visitors. We are proud to support the groups and volunteers who make these programs possible, and admire their efforts to share the Hawaiian culture, protect our precious environment, and host community festivals that showcase Hawai‘i’s distinctive appeal.” HTA’s Kūkulu Ola Program provides support to community groups, practitioners, craftsmen, musicians, and artists whose efforts are perpetuating the Hawaiian culture. Kūkulu Ola focuses on nurturing a greater understanding and appreciation of Hawaiian culture through place-based activity engagement. Founded on the value of ma ka hana ka ‘ike (in working one learns), Kūkulu Ola assists organizations steeped in ‘ike Hawai‘i to expand their ability to share within communities the Hawaiian values inherent in each respective practice.! HTA’s Aloha ‘Āina Program supports efforts that manage, protect and revitalize Hawai‘i’s natural resources through a community-based approach. Aloha ‘Āina aims to instill a greater sense of respect, awareness and responsibility to maintain Hawai‘i’s unique natural resources and environment. Aloha ‘Āina also focuses on restoring the value of stewardship by assisting community entities that emulate and prioritize ‘āina-kānaka relationships and knowledge. HTA’s Community Enrichment Program supports projects, festivals and events in the niche areas of cultural tourism, eco-tourism, agri-tourism, edu-tourism, health and wellness tourism, sports and techno-tourism throughout the State. The program was created to support groups providing quality resident and visitor experiences, and to strengthen and diversify Hawai‘i tourism. - more - HTA Supporting 128 Hawaiian Culture, Environment and Community Programs Page 2 !

  • An Island Tradition: 'May Day Is Lei Day'
    MENU SIGN ON Insights & Stories BANK OF HAWAII STORIES An Island Tradition: 'May Day is Lei Day' Posted: 05/01/2018 Reading time: 6 Minutes Most of us know the song “May Day is Lei Day in Hawaii," and that it's customary to give and wear beautiful flower lei on May 1. Some people celebrate by gathering sweet-smelling plumeria from their yard to string a simple lei, or for something fancier, perhaps cream-white puakenikeni. Others buy their lei—maybe delicate pikake, tuberose, or white ginger—strung fresh at a lei stand in Chinatown, or from the day's latest grocery store delivery. It doesn't matter how simple or fancy the lei, or whether you make or purchase it. The result is the same—sharing in a lei-giving and -wearing tradition that contributes to making these Islands the unique and lovely place that they are. But how did May 1 come to be associated with lei? And did you know that Bank of Hawaii hosted the first Lei Day celebration in its lobby? May Day became Lei Day in Hawaii in 1928, when artist and poet Don Blanding, an Oklahoma native who lived in Hawaii and wrote for the Honolulu Star-Bulletin, put forward the idea of creating a holiday to celebrate the tradition of making, giving and wearing lei. He mentioned the concept to Star-Bulletin's society editor Grace Tower Warren, who instantly expressed interest. She suggested pairing the holiday with May Day, a day already associated with flowers (which also happened to be her birthday)—and she's the one who coined the now-familiar phrase “May Day is Lei Day in Hawaii." Around that time, musicians Leonard “Red" Hawk and Ruth Hawk wrote the now-familiar song about it.
