Dancer with tassels

Title

Dancer with tassels

Description

A dancer holding hand tassels and wearing a tasseled belt, on stage at Pacific University's annual Lu'au in 1969. She may have been a part of the Tahitian-style dance performance, which was a part of the Luau.

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.
