8/4 Lavender Cinema Lounge: KŪKULU

Kumu Pua Case and the Flores-Case ‘Ohana have been part of the re-awakening of a movement of native Hawaiians and indigenous land protectors around the globe to connect, and give purpose and pride to their indigenous roots and the sacred places of their people. Kumu Pua Case and members of Mauna Kea Education and Awareness and the Run4Salmon Prayer journey will be present to chant and speak to how protecting Mauna Kea, the tallest mountain from the sea floor  and supporting the protection of other sacred places, has spurred a global activation and collective voice of multiple generations to stand in respect, reverence and indigenous wisdom to protect their lands, waters, and life ways. 

The evening of indigenous wisdom will include a traveling art exhibition from Hawai’i Island - Kūkulu, The Pillars of Mauna ā Wākea, and two films; Beyond Recognition, and Standing Above the Clouds.
