Students eating Hawaiian Food outdoors

Description

Four students eating Hawaiian food at an event hosted by Pacific University's Haumana O Hawai'i (Hawaiian Club) circa 1972-1973. Three of the students are identified on the original slide as: Leslie Howell; David Todani (Class of 1973); and James Nakamura (Class of 1972). Nakamura is petting a small dog in the foreground. A house in the background is in the midst of being sided and roofed.

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.
