In this video from the National Geographic Channel, dancers and historians explain the origins and development of hula. Outline Birth of the Hula (start-045) Hula is Banned (046-110) Rebirth of Hula (111-145) Making Hula Relevant to a Modern Audience (146-208) Merrie Monarch Festival (209-250) Hula? Halau? Haumana? Huh? Use our “Vocabulary” tab to help sort out your mele from your macadamia nuts! Teaching Strategies The following tabs offer suggestions for using this video as a learning tool. Use “Fast Facts” to understand the history of hula. Use “Questions” to help students develop a greater appreciation of this important part of Hawaiian culture. Use “Vocabulary” to identify language associated with hula. Questions Hawaii’s earliest hula dancers were inspired by waves on the beach, according to hula instructor Emily Kau’i Zuttermeister (030). What are some ways students think hula dancers imitate waves and other movements of the ocean? Answers will vary! Hula dancers move their arms, legs, and torsos in regularly swaying rhythms, like waves on the ocean. Many hulas require dancers to take only tiny steps, keeping them in the same general area and not allowing them to move across the stage. These dancers are like “standing waves” in the ocean, whose movement is steady and predictable. Even these standing waves can change with the slightest alterations in wind, temperature, or pressure. Hula dancers may express these variations with subtle movements of their wrists, elbows, shoulders, neck, hips, knees, or ankles. The ocean is a wildly varied environment, and hula is a wildly complex dance style! Hula dancers many interpret the placid ocean with gentle movements and slight changes in posture. More dramatic movements of the dancer’s arms and legs, or choreographed turns and spins, may be used to interpret the unpredictable, stormy aspects of the ocean. When they landed on Hawaiian shores in 1820, European explorers were “shocked” by hula dancing (045). Can students name some differences between hula and the formal dancing popular in Europe at the time, called regency dancing? Watch this video to familiarize yourself with regency dancing. Think about how the dancers move, the music, and the costuming. Answers will vary! Dancing Hula dancers perform as groups of men and women. In regency dance, the dancers are integrated and usually paired off as couples. Hula dancers rarely touch each other, while regency dance often requires interaction such as hand-holding. The faces of hula dancers are usually much more expressive than the faces of regency dancers. Hula often involves much larger movements, such as deep knee bends or arm reaches. Regency dance usually involves smaller movements. Hula dancers move around the stage or dance floor much less frequently than regency dancers. Music Hula is often accompanied by chanting, while regency dance rarely includes vocal music. Music that accompanies hula is based in drums and other percussion (such as the shells wrapped around dancers’ ankles). Regency dancers dance to European classical music played on strings, harpsichords or pianos, and wind instruments. Costume Hula is usually performed barefoot, while regency dancers wear shoes and stockings. Hula costumes (especially those worn by men) are less confining than regency dress—the video calls hula dancers “scantily clad”! Regency dance usually requires multiple layers of clothes. Hula accessories include large flower and shell ornaments, while regency dancers wear much more subdued necklaces and earrings. Hula costumes are more uniform, while regency costumes have more stylistic variation. Despite many differences, hula and regency dance share many characteristics. Can students name some similarities shared by hula and regency dance? Answers will vary! Dance Both dances involve groups of dancers, as opposed to individual soloists. Dancers perform in a line or series of lines. (Regency dance can also feature circles.) Dancers perform uniform, matched movements. Neither dance style involves extensive jumps or leaps. Music Musicians perform off-stage and do not directly participate in either hula or regency dance. Costume Female dancers wear loose-fitting skirts or dresses, allowing for ease of motion. Hula and regency dance do not require specialized clothes or equipment, such as toe shoes or clogs. Fast Facts Hula master Kumano Palani Kuala encourages his students to make a connection between hula and indigenous spirituality. (148) Ancient Hawaiians also held hula sacred. The traditional goddess of the hula is Laka, and many ancient hulas were performed in her honor. The video spotlights the Merrie Monarch Festival, which honors a legendary king who returned hula to “its rightful place at the center of Hawaiian culture.” (220) This was King David Kalakaua, who encouraged a revival of many Hawaiian cultural traditions, including surfing and the martial art of lua, during his reign from 1874-1891. King David Kalakaua’s nickname was “the merry (or merrie) monarch.” Hula instructor Emily Kau’i Zuttermeister tells a story about the birth of hula. (030) The woman Zuttermeister mentions, who went down to the beach and imitated the motion of the waves, was Hi’iaka. Hi’iaka was no ordinary woman—she was the sister of Hawaii’s legendary fire goddess, Pele. Hi’iaka is the goddess of the stormy clouds produced by her sister’s volcanoes.

  • 2.10 Material Culture of the Hawaiian Islands
    2.10 Introduction to Pacific Review of Pacific Collections Collections: Material Culture in Scottish Museums of the Hawaiian Islands Produced as part of Pacific Collections in Scottish Museums: Unlocking their knowledge and potential project 2013-2014. For full information and resources visit www.nms.ac.uk/pacific The following material culture styles have particularly distinctive elements but broad collections are not commonly found in Scottish museums. Hawaiian Islands The Hawaiian Islands are an archipelago of volcanic origin located in north east Polynesia. There are eight main islands as well as smaller islands, atolls and islets. The largest island is Hawai’i. The other main inhabited islands are: O’ahu, Maui, Kaua’i, Moloka’i, Lana’i, Ni’hau, and Kaho’olawe. The islands were first settled in 1,300 from the south, most likely the Society Islands. The distance from other parts of Polynesia meant that Hawaiians developed distinctive forms of chieftainship, religious practices and material culture. The first European recorded to have visited the Hawaiian Islands was Captain James Cook in early 1778 on his third voyage, who named the archipelago the Sandwich Islands after his patron the Earl of Sandwich. Cook met his death there in February 1779. Kamehameha, who was a late 18th century Chief on the island of Hawai’i, attempted to gain control over the whole island group. By 1810 he had established a monarchy which ruled for most of the 19th century. At this time the Hawaiian Islands were recognised by foreign powers as a sovereign nation. Kamehameha’s son Liholiho (Kamehameha II) and Queen Kamamalu visited London on a state visit to George IV where they tragically died in 1824 after contracting measles.

She teaches and performs Hawaiian Hula, Tahitian, Maori, and Samoan dance. Nancy will be teaching a class on Monday evenings for 6-weeks beginning June 7 – July 1 (no class on July 5th) from 6:30 – 7:30 PM at the Ed Garvey Recreation Facility on Pheasant Run Drive. The class is suitable for anyone age 16 and up with all levels of dancers welcome whether you’ve had prior dance experience or not. Come alone or bring a friend…this journey will be fun! For class, students should wear non-restrictive (but not baggy) clothing and plan to dance barefoot (soft soled shoes are permitted if you need the support).

Western-Constructed Narratives of Hawai’i By Megan Medeiros What comes to mind when you hear someone talking about Hawai’i? Perhaps, you envision an idyllic tropical locale filled with beautiful landscapes and sundrenched beaches just waiting to welcome you to a summer-time escape from reality? Or maybe you think of a secluded island, where play comes before work and people exude a carefree “aloha spirit”? In reality, Hawai’i is simultaneously neither and so much more. The widely held public conception of Hawai’i as a mystical tropical paradise is a misleading construction concocted by Westerners who possessed, at best, ephemeral and, at worst, completely fabricated conceptions of daily life within the Hawaiian Archipelago. How did this happen? How did such manifestly inaccurate representations of Hawai’i come to dominate popular perceptions of the islands and its people? The best way to understand this process is to apply the principles of “othering” put forth by renowned scholar Edward Said in his most famous work, Orientalism.
