Overview

Hawaii is often portrayed as a paradise filled with beautiful beaches, vibrant culture, and welcoming locals, especially during traditional luaus. However, beneath this idyllic surface lies a complex and sometimes dark history that isn't typically highlighted in tourist experiences. Those who have participated in this experience describe it as a :MUST do cultural event that will enhance your trip! Here is the opportunity to hear the real history from a true local, historian and musician, Ian Aquino. It provides a nuanced understanding of the events that shaped Hawaii, including its colonization, the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom, and the impacts of tourism on native culture.This is an intimate experience you wont find anywhere else.

Description

Join us on a tucked away beach… as the fire crackles, a local storyteller sits among you, their voice calm and inviting. They begin to weave a narrative that delves into Hawaii’s complex history—stories of ancient traditions, cultural practices, and the deep connection the Hawaiian people have with the land. But intertwined within these tales are darker chapters, touching on moments of colonization, the loss of sovereignty, and the resilience of the Hawaiian spirit.
The storyteller shares personal anecdotes and historical events that resonate deeply, allowing you to connect on both an emotional and intellectual level. With every story, the gleaming stars above seem to listen, embodying the spirits of ancestors who once roamed these very shores. As you sit there, you feel a palpable sense of respect for the land and its stories, understanding that history is not just about the past but also about how it shapes the present.
As the night deepens, the storyteller invites guests to share their thoughts and feelings, creating a powerful sense of community.
