CULTURAL EVENTS at Grand Hyatt Kaua`i Resort & Spa Providing unique insight into natural history and culture, these events offer an opportunity to gain knowledge and increased respect for the culture of Hawai`i.

Makawehi Dune Walk Monday, July 21, 2014 Join guide David Burney from National Tropical Botanical Garden for a walk on the Makawehi Dunes, adjacent to the resort. Learn about the geology, flora, and fauna both native and introduced, living and extinct, and their uses and prominence in the Hawaiian culture.

Dramatically formed over the ages by the forces of nature, the Makawehi Dunes provide an ideal living classroom. Seabirds from the Albatross to the Frigate bird may be spotted and with any luck, a Hawaiian monk seal may be resting on the beach. About one mile in, an ancient heiau or sacred site will be visited.

This moderate walk begins at the Hyatt’s Seaview Terrace at 9:00am. Wear tennis or walking shoes, sunscreen, a hat, and bring water. The round trip walk takes about 2 hours. Although it is morning, the sun will be hot so those in good physical condition will find it most enjoyable. Participants will gain a new understanding and reverence for this unique ecosystem.

Art and Craft Fair Tuesday, July 22, 2014 See a part of Hawai‘i’s past, present and future through demonstrations, music, and crafters.

Stories of Our Heritage July 18 to July 27, 2014

Celebrating Kauai’s plantation roots through the stories of our heritage

K

auai’s largest summer festival, Koloa Plantation Days, celebrates its 29th year from July 18 to July 27 on Kauai’s sunny South Shore.

During 10 days of varied activities, you can experience Koloa’s area history and magnificent scenery, discover Koloa’s heritage as Hawaii’s first commercial sugar plantation, explore Hawaii’s diverse cultures and enjoy the vitality and variety of entertainment, foods, crafts and sports activities throughout Koloa and Poipu.

Held in the heart of Koloa where Hawaii’s first commercial sugar plantation was founded in 1835, Koloa Plantation Days offers more than 30 lively, family-oriented events at the gracious resorts and community gathering spots in Koloa and Poipu.

This unique and vibrant festival celebrates not only Koloa’s area history and host culture, but also plantation “camp life,” which brought together immigrants from Europe, the Azores, Japan, Korea, China, the Philippines and elsewhere to work together on the sugar plantations.

Plantations have nearly disappeared, but the people who came to Hawaii to work helped to create today’s diverse, dynamic lifestyle and local culture.

Events at Koloa Plantation Days have grown to encompass a wide range of activities: island culture and

about this culture and history while others share talk stories, films and tours commemorating life on the plantation.

Guided nature walks reveal the unique flora, fauna, geology and archaeology of the South Shore and a pastel painting workshop highlights a pristine part of the coastline.

n Saturday, July 19 , the Koloa Community Association and Hui Malama o Koloa hosts its annual Hapa Trail walk beginning at St. Raphael’s Church off Weliweli Road, to Hapa Road. Please allow time to park and be ready to experience this historic place by 9 a.m.

When the Hapa volunteers initiated a proactive approach to Hapa Trail four years ago, the trail was overgrown with koa haole, large cacti with large thorns, crawling night cereus cacti and invasive guinea grass.

Volunteers spent three hours each day for 91 days, from mid-April to mid-July to clear the trail and make it passable for walkers and cyclist to use.

In the last few years, the history we have uncovered of Hapa and Koloa hema (the South Shore) has been astounding and fascinating.

The ingenious use turning a flat pahoehoe plain into a productive and field system that was a thriving enterprise for centuries.

The field system had been able to capture the water of Waikomo, and, with 100 miles of auwai (irrigation system), water irrigates over 2,000 acres of crops.

This same land today is classified by the U.S. Soil Conservation Service as being unsuitable for agriculture.

However, the Koloa field system

thrived for over 500 years.

Kauai’s first Royal Port of Entry, Hanakaape Bay and Koloa Roadstead was the third busiest port in the Kingdom of Hawaii. The Roadstead was the transshipment point from which ships were off-loaded with mercantile goods and livestock for Kauai, and where trade goods, fresh produce, and livestock, were loaded on ships from Kauai. It was also linked to Koloa Town, two miles inland, by the victualers’ cart path, Hapa Trail.

Sweet potatoes grown in Koloa supplied the 49ers with all their potatoes during the California Gold Rush. Koloa supplied the North with sugar during the American Civil War. At the foot of Hapa Trail, the hula mound Pau a Laka was where the most notable hula artists learned and practiced under the tutelage of Keahi Luahine.

On the first Saturday of Koloa Plantation Days, Historic Hapa Trail Walk will take you to the sites of the field system and show the way the Hawaiians made use of the land to sustain life.

Please join us for the Hapa Walk and refreshments to follow.

KO L OA P L A N TA T I O N DAY S 2 0 1 4 Lessons of Aloha - Plantation Style The sugar plantation was more than just an industry in Hawaii - it was a way of life. From around the world, people immigrated to work this new and exotic land with the hope of creating better lives and opportunities for themselves and their families. Mill camps became multi-cultural communities with everyone working together, lending support to one another and, eventually, melding together.

Sharing their traditions, cuisine and customs; adapting and embodying the Aloha spirit of living in harmony. Plantation children grew up and family circles expanded with each new generation.

Life’s lessons were learned on the plantation. It molded our self-worth and identity. We learned the value of hard work and doing it together, sharing in being a part of it all. We learned tolerance of diversity and created bridges of cultural understanding. Those lessons became the very fabric of our values and our own unique island culture we celebrate today.

Wishing you the best of times at this year’s celebration of Koloa Plantation Days from our Coldwell Banker Makai Properties family to yours. Aloha!

et to Old Koloa Town early on Saturday, July 26, and stake out a good parade-watching spot.

‘Lessons of Aloha’ is the theme of this yearís Koloa Plantation Days parade, commemorating the 29th annual Koloa Plantation Days and the 179th anniversary of commercial sugar on Kauai.

The plantation camps were a place where many different nationalities and cultures came together to work. Contract laborers came from the Philippines, Japan, Okinawa, Puerto Rico, Portugal, China, Korea and other countries to work on the sugar plantations, where they lived in camps.

While plantation camps have nearly disappeared and younger generations have moved to modern communities, lots of people remember getting together with grandparents in camps or spending their early years in a camp.

The mix of foods and traditions that emerged from camp life is today the ba-

day of festivities from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

A full afternoon starting at lunchtime just following the parade with nonstop entertainment all day.

This year is a strong entertainment lineup, featuring a variety of music and entertainment representing the diverse cultural mix that started in the sugar era and shapes Hawaii’s local culture today.

In a tribute to this year’s parade grand marshal, this year’s entertainment features ‘Friends of Aunty Stella’ including headliners Led Kaapana and Mike Kaawa , Kamakakehau Fernandez, and comedian Augie T, Halau Ka Lei Mokihana O Leinaíala, taiko drumming by Tsunami Taiko, Kekai Chock and Na sis for “local style” cuisine and culture.

Plantation Garden Restaurant with David Penhallow Scott

njoy tea and talk story on Sunday afternoon, July 27 at 4pm with “living treasure” David Penhallow Scott on the lanai of the beautifully restored estate that once served as the plantation manager’s home for Hawaii’s first sugar plantation.

Hosted by Women in Theatre.

David Penhallow Scott, is a fifth-generation resident of Kaua’i and a descendent of William Hyde Rice, the last governor of Kaua‘i under the Kingdom of Hawai’i. Penhallow Scott transports us to the eve of World War II, as he shares his first-hand memories of growing up Kauai and Oahu in the 1930s and 40s. He paints a picture of sugar plantation society — before, during and after the bombing of Pearl Harbor — as Hawaii and all its residents are swept up onto the

stage of world war.

Guests are welcome to stay afterwards for pupus or to reserve for dinner at Plantation Gardens Restaurant following the talk story, for a leisurely conclusion to the Koloa Plantation Days festivities.
