It is "Aloha Wednesday" today here in Hilo, the Big Island, Hawaii.
As you might know, I graduated from "Kahuawaiola" Indigenous Education program under the College of Hawaiian Language at UH-Hilo this May!
In May, one day before the university commencement was held at Edith Kanakaole Tennis Stadium (this is a venue for Merrie Monarch Hula Festival), we had a traditional Hawaiian-style commencement at Ke Kula O Nawahiokalaniopuu, a Hawaiian language immersion school, which is a laboratory school under the College of Hawaiian Language at UH-Hilo.
Today, I happened to find a news program which showed a video on our commencement at Nawahi.
This is the first all-Hawaiian TV news program started this year!
If you have a chance, please have a look at this video and have a taste of a traditional Hawaiian-style commencement as below:
