Part 2: Exploring the Depths of Hawaii's History and Culture

Join us for Part 2 of our podcast series, 'Exploring the Depths of Hawaii's History and Culture.' In this family-friendly episode, we're honored to have Mr. Terry, the manager of the Hawaiian Village at the Polynesian Cultural Center and an adjunct professor at Brigham Young University specializing in Hawaiian language and culture. We dive into the fascinating history of luaus, uncover the significance of leis, and savor the flavors of delicious traditional foods served at these festive gatherings. Tune in to hear common traditional songs, including the benediction and 'Hawaii Aloha.' And don't miss the grand finale, a special song called Aloha Oe, composed by the last monarch of Hawaii, Queen Lili' Uokalani.
