Title

Student outside at Haumana O Hawai'i Event

Description

A student, most likely a Pacific University student member of Haumana O Hawai'i (Hawaiian Club), at an outdoor event. Based on other slides found with this one, this was likely at a Hawaiian Club event, possibly during Homecoming in October of 1969 or 1970.

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.
