Title

Tending the roast during the rain at the 1986 Luau

Description

Students from Haumana O Hawai'i (Hawaiian Club) shovel coals for the kalua pig pit roast at Pacific University's annual Lu'au in 1986. It rained during the event that year.

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.
