Great care has been the widespread lack of "Hawaii" in the "Hawaiian" activities, merchandise and demonstrations witnessed on hotels around the 'island of St. Concepts such as power and bracelets of shells from the Philippines or tropical print bags, dolls and pot holders in line with the status of "Made in China" --- even many souvenirs sold to visitors in Hawaii are produced and sold in places like Bali, Thailand.
Strange as it may be verywhat is offered arts and crafts as authentic "Hawaiian" arts and in the islands is actually imported from other countries and foreign guests do not have a clue!
As a result, a lot of time and energy, which authorizes the culture of "real" Hawaii has an elevator and noticed by all those millions of people who come to Hawaii each year has been spent. For too long has been a trend in tourism trends, such as ceremonies flashlights, magazines and flashy dance Polynesian PushHotel --- all of which were ultimately devoid of substance as the authentic "Hawaiian" cultural experiences were, what you really want.
Founded in 1998, the Kauai Heritage Center in Hawaii Culture and Art --- educate than 1,200 square feet with a purpose and create mind awareness for appreciation and respect for the true culture "Hawaii." Exhibitions in the center will focus on Hawaiian quilts, hand tools, fishing, hula instruments and devices, and carved a large numberrugs, baskets and fans, just to name a few. Most of the finds from which the exhibits are memorabilia belonging to Hawaiian families for decades.
The center also has hands-on classes that probe and discuss all aspects of a specific theme, for example, hula, leaf printing and the Hawaiian language. These meetings she making techniques with the sharing of its protocols and customs that span the entire experience --- from the production of materialsreal power available.
Recognition that to preserve Hawaiian culture and perpetuate its message is a massive commitment is the center of the target, not only in the provision of gainful, but the sharing of information and knowledge so that responsibility is allocated to the participants . He says the program is constantly being planned, including workshops teaching cultural insights inspired and motivated by a Hawaiian theme. The speakers are artists and professionals intheir specific subject area.
special permission has been by the owners of the historic palm trees in Wailua, heavily damaged in Hurricane Inika in 1992, granted to students of the Centre, its structures and lagoons sketch. Further talks will be presented to the old places of worship and on these lagoons were the first --- as fish ponds by the royalties.
The center also organizes cultural tours, as shown in 5 to 6 graders learn about the environment in Hawaii, isnative plants and conservation. The group size is 6-30 people everywhere because of the impact on cultural sacred sites are limited.
With the advent of new technologies and convenience, many of today's Hawaiians have the value and wisdom of the "old ways" forgotten. Therefore, a comprehensive training program designed to --- 'visitor industry --- hotel Islands Hawaiian Hawaiian organizations, employees and business partners based on traditional values began.
This trainingProgram provides 8 hours of instruction on topics of healing with herbs, sacred offerings, massage, music, proverbs and poems.
Maintaining the integrity of the Hawaiian culture is what is the center. His goal, in short, is all we can to maintain what Hawaii "Hawaii" to achieve. It is a constant vigil on false and inaccurate representations of Hawaiian practices correctly. Both visitors and locals alike are invited to discover the "real" Hawaii and not fallrestoration activities called "traditional" when in fact they are "devices for fun."
