Bring Kumu Pua Case & Hawane to NYC
Donation protected
Please help support this most important event!
Na Oiwi in conjunction with Redhawk Native American Arts Council is swiftly raising funds to bring Native Hawaiian Cultural Practitioner, Kumu Hula Pua Case and her daughter Singer-Songwriter Hawane Rios to NYC for Indigenous People’s Day October 10th, 2016.
Kumu Pua and Hawane will help lead the sunrise ceremony and join other leaders, elders and medicine people from across North America, the Caribbean, Polynesian Islands and South America to sing, pray, and share their cultural traditions. This is their second year participating in the event.
Na Oiwi’s mission is to educate the NYC community on Hawaiian history, culture and voice. We are raising funds to cover airfare, food and lodging for the duration of Kumu Pua and Hawane’s stay.

More on Indigenous People’s Day in NYC (from Redhawk Native Arts Council):
On Columbus Day weekend in 2015 for the first time ever in NYC, 6000 Indigenous people and their supporters gathered on Randall’s Island to celebrate the 523 year survival of First Nations cultures and traditions. The event received worldwide media coverage and was the beginning of creating Indigenous Peoples Day in NYC.
For 2016 we once again will be rethinking Columbus Day with a focus on Indigenous people, their beautiful cultures and traditions. This free day will begin at Monday Morning with a 7am sunrise ceremony honoring the Native people around the world who have endured and survived. The day will continue with a celebration of spoken word, music, traditional performing artists, guest speakers and contemporary performances. There will also be artists sharing and selling traditional works, crafts and jewelry.
