Title

Women dancing the hula at the 1978 Luau

Description

A group of women wearing long, sleeveless dresses and maile-style leis, dancing what appears to be the hula at Pacific University's annual Lu'au in 1978.

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.
