API Heritage Month | May 5

Huraiti Mana at our first public showcase, featuring our youngest Huraiti, Maya.
We had so much fun at the API Heritage Month Celebration at the Seattle Center on Sunday, May 7, 2017! Festivities began at 11:45AM with non-stop performances representing cultures and traditions of Asians and Pacific Islanders. There was a great turnout of guests, and we're so happy that Huraiti Mana was able to share both Hula of the Hawaiian islands and Ori Tahiti of the islands of Tahiti in the South Pacific. Many thanks to the entire team including Huraiti Mamas, sound team, and of course all our huraiti! As a Native-Hawaiian, Japanese, Black, and Chinese huraiti, I am proud of my heritage and love to celebrate - not only through dance, food, and music, but also talking-story, meeting others,  and making connections. May we continue to share in the ongoing celebration of who we are as a people and the many cultures we represent. 

We also had a super-busy lei-making station for keiki (children) and adults! Great job to those who took on the task of wili lei-making. 

Mauruuru roa to the many event planners and volunteers at this event; it was such a welcoming and fun event. A hui hou, see you next year!
