Title

Two speakers at a Hawaiian Club Event

Description

Two speakers, possibly relatives of students, speaking at a Haumana O Hawai'i (Hawaiian Club) event at Pacific University circa 1972-1973. This photograph may have been taken at the annual Lu'au or at another event hosted by the Club.

Pacific University began hosting an annual Lu'au in 1961. Student members of Na Haumana O Hawai'i (Hawaiian Club) organized and performed in the event, raising money for scholarships. The Lu'au included a dinner, sales of leis and other products flown in from Hawai'i, and performances of Pacific island dances. The Lu'au is normally held on the second Saturday in April in Washburne Hall. The name of the event was changed to Lu'au and Ho'ike in 2019.
