Title

James Nakamura at a Hawaiian Club event

Description

Pacific University student James Nakamura (Class of 1972), lying on a mat outdoors on the university's campus in the Fall of 1970. He is at a social event hosted by Haumana O Hawai'i (Hawaiian 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.
