About the company:

We are the only not-for-profit organization dedicated to preserving and providing access to the oral histories of our senior-most hula elders. Through this digital documentation of our küpuna, their life stories and mana`o, we are building a Library of unique and important cultural resources to be shared globally via the Internet, television, DVD, print, and other media. This honoring of the past will help ground us as we all do our best to perpetuate Hawaiian culture throughout the world in the years to come.

The goal of the website:

To inform the public about our organization's services, encourage interested people to donate their time and money.
