Let's welcome back this hālau to SAF. Don't forget to stop by the see them perform or bring your keiki to the Keiki Korner. This is our wonderful halau that it on for all the keiki to enjoy at SAF.

September 11, 1999 in Sacramento, California. Under the direction of Kumu Hula Juni Kalāhikiola Lovel, students span in age from keiki (children) to our kūpuna (elders). The name of the women’s hālau “ Hālau Ka Waikahe Lani Mālie” translates to “the peaceful, heavenly, flowing water” while the men’s hālau translates as “the water’s reflection”. Just as water is essential to life, each student contributes to the life & legacy of the hālau.

Island Sunset Band, Sacramento, CA - Oscar Aban, Band Leader Island Sunset Band was formed in 2008 by four friends who enjoy good music, wine, good food, and good company. Did I fail to mention beer? We play traditional and contemporary Hawaiian music but we are moved by anything island-inspired. We’ve also been accused of doing R&B, rock and country.

Tricia Allen has been researching the history of Polynesian tattoo since the late 1980s. She achieved a Master’s degree at the university of Hawai’i in 1992 completing her thesis on the ancient documentation of Marquesan tattoo. Her more recent work has taken her to Tahiti and the Society Islands, the Marquesas Islands, Samoa, Aotearoa (New Zealand), New Caledonia, the Cook Islands, Palau and Rapa Nui (Easter Island).

Her articles and photographs have appeared in dozens of newspapers and magazines and journals and conference publications. Allen is also an accomplished tattooist having tattooed well over 8,000 individuals which gives her rare insight into the meanings and motivations behind the tattoos worn by Islanders today. She has curated exhibitions at the Honolulu Academy of Art and the National Museum of Contemporary Art in Caracas, Venezuela. Allen has lectured extensively on Polynesian tattoo at numerous institutions and is currently faculty at the University of Hawai’i, Windward Community College in Hawaiian and Pacific Island Studies.
