Calling all Kānaka Maoli! This is your chance to be part of a historic moment—an incredible display of unity as Hawaiians across the continent join voices in song. 

Join Kumu Mehanaokalā Hind and Kumu Hinaleimoana Wong-Kalu for a special mele workshop to learn and connect through the powerful anthem ‘Ōiwi Ē in preparation for an unforgettable filmed presentation at the 2025 Native Hawaiian Convention. 

This is a kāhea to stand together as one lāhui across the U.S. Whether you’re a seasoned chanter or just love to sing, we invite you to be part of this momentous event. 

Come, lift your voice, honor our kūpuna, and stand in solidarity as we show the world that no matter where we are, we are still here!
