Experiencing something new in Hawaii is always something I cherish while living here .
Seeing a new day begin with a special Ceremony at Pu'ukohola – a sacred heiau (temple) in
west Hawaii was one of those new experiences for me. This event marks an annual right for the Hawaii nations to commemorate their ancestors, rights of passage, their history and this ancient heiau.
The ceremony is quite intimate and grand at the same time, a authentic event celebrated by the participants and viewers alike.
