On behalf of the Linfield College Hawaiian Ciub, welcome to

the newest issue of Na Hawmana'O Linfield. Na Haumana'O
Linfleld originally started as a way of informing members about
current events and other information regarding the club but
has since growrl into a way of also informing the rest of the

Linfield community and club parents, both near and far, on

what the club is involved with"
Skength and pride lies in the great diversity of the c1ub. It is
through our club members that the aloha spirit is shared and
able to travel beyond the geographic lines of the islands. The
Hawaiian Club would like to give a warm mahalo to all who
have been involved this past ytr, and many years beforq and

NA HAUMANA'O LINEIELD

n-n: !

It's amazing how much love and hard work

goes into pulling off a spectacular lu'au but the
Hawaiian Club never seems to
disappoint. After four months of preparation,
all of the days of rehearsing, costume making
decorating and promoting culminated in a
showcase on May 3 of the Hawaiian and
Polynesian cultures like no other. Juniors
Ihilani Kamaka and Jonah Flores were this
year's co-chairs of the event of which the
theme was "Keiki'O Ka'Aina" which
translates to "Children of the Land." Lt total,
more than 100 students were involved in the
making of Linfield's annual lu'au event and
each did their part as committee chairs,
dancers, kumus (teachers) or volunteers
during preparations or on the big day itself.

The event featured dinner and a show all of which

is student-organized and run. Ohana Hawaiian
Caf6, an Oregon-based restaurant with locations in
both Portland and Milwaukie, catered
dinner. Authentic Hawaiian foods like kalua pig
with cabbage, poi (a pudding-like food made from
mashed taro), kulolo (a dessert made from mashed
taro and grated coconut meat or coconut milk) and
coconut haupia (a coconut gelatin of sorts) were on
the menu, in addition to teriyaki chicken, rice,
macaroni salad and pineapple. To a record
audience of more than 1,600 people, a roughly 2hour show was put on by dancers, both members
and non-members of the Hawaiian Club, with
HawaiiarL Samoaru Tahitian and Maori dances,
student skits, and a student fire-throwing
performance. Spectators were left dazzled by the
amount of detail and grace executed in all of the
performances.
