ABOUT US
Halau Kaulana Ka Hale Kula O’ Na Pua O’ Ka ‘Aina was created by Kumu Hula Randy Kaulana Chang in 1999. The halau was created to perpetuate Native Hawaiian culture through crafts, dance, music, and history on the continent as well as other Polynesian history and music.
​
Haumana (students) are taught to make many of their own implements as well as their own leis and attire. History is perpetuated through formal lectures on different aspects of Hawaiian culture as well as being incorporated into everyday life in the halau. The halau has had the opportunity of sharing our knowledge of dance and Hawai’i with other halau through workshops and competitions. The halau has competed in the Merrie Monarch on the Big Island of Hawai’i and E Hula Mau, Southern California’s largest hula competition. The halau also performed with some of Hawai’i’s most well known musicians, including the Makaha Sons and Kanilau.
Kaulana Ka Hale Kula O’ Na Pua O’ Ka ‘Aina is a proud member of the Kumu Hula Association of Southern California.
