Makinsee's May Day

May Day here in Hawaii is a wonderful opportunity for the Youth to Celebrate in Native Polynesian Dance and also other cultures as well.
My youngest daughter Makinsee participated with her class in representing the Island of Hawaii.
Their colors and flowers are all very traditional.
Her lei and head piece were hand done and the flowers and plants come from the Volcano on Big Island.
We have  truly loved being part of our heritage, I feel really honored and blessed for my children to have the opportunity to know their roots.The best way for me to Honor my Father,and his Mother,my Kapuna(Grandmother) and her Mother is to teach and share with my daughters.

Hawaii is my heart, no matter where I am...
All My Aloha

    What a wonderful and beautiful tradition!

    Makinsee is as beautiful as her name. I had to enlarge the picture of the headdress - what is that gorgeous red flower?

    Good to have you back!

    Thanks for sharing your family and the tradition for May Day. The flowers/leaves in the lei and headpiece are beautiful. I'm sure it was something to see - maybe someday I'll get there.
