Members of Central Maui-based halau Na Hanona Kulike ‘O Pi’ilani, including Kumu Hula Sissy Lake-Farm (third from left), pose Sept. 27 on the Huialoha Church grounds in Kaupo after recreating hula to “Kaupo.” The late, iconic recording artist Kahauanu Lake composed the song to commemorate the Lake family’s kuleana lands at Pu’ulani. Also pictured are Walter Kawaiae’a and wife Luana (second from right) of Honolulu; his 100 ukulele students from Oahu and Maui accompanied the hula practitioners.
