Aloha to all.  I am Kumu Hulali, the Hawaiian Language and Hawaiian Dance teacher at Baldwin High School here on Maui.  I have been a teacher here at this school for eight years now.  I am from the island of Maui (ʻIhikapalaumāewa).  I am also a wife, mother, and student of hula.  Let us be enlightened and strengthened as we progress together.  May the Native Language of our land live on forever.
