Our Founder
Edward Kanahele was a History professor at Hawaii Community College where he was able to tap into the young Hawaii youth coming into the college and inspire them to be great.
He was active in the preservation of ancient burial grounds and remains for the iwi kūpuna.
In 1990 he founded a group named "Hui Malama i Na Kupuna" which was established to protect remains and burial sites of Hawaiian ancestors.
This group was instrumental in getting the Smithsonian Institute to return the remains of 85 Hawaiians remains (bones) which had been kept for almost 100 years.
In 1998, our founder Edward Kanahele thought to regenerate the practices of Ocean through Lawaiʻa, Land through Mahiʻai and the chants and dances through Hula. This has been the foundation for Nā Maka Hāloa and continues to hold a solid foundation for us now and into the future. I Ola Hāloa!
