I am Hawaiian at heart and I have been doing Hula since 1960. My daughter has lived on Kaua’i for over 45 years so Kaua’i is my second home, away from San Diego. I have grandchildren and great grandsons here. I love the presentation of this song, which was also my sister’s favorite so it brings tears to my eyes to hear it like this.

[@betsyw4943]

Mahalo! He nani ke mele! In 'Ōiwi Ē, so many of the actions look like Māori waiata a ringa (action songs), and the ending is a typical way to end a song when performing ("1, 2, 3, 4...", though "Hī auē" was swapped out for "kia ora" -- clever!) Just curious whether the motions and ending overlap at all with Hawai'ian tradition or whether they were borrowed as a tribute. ❤
