Haumana (Student) Announcements


It is with great sorrow in my heart to inform you all that one of our fellow hula brothers have passed on.
Elmer Martin "Kualapu'u" Arnobit was a vibrant and vivacious hula brother. He would often challenge me, the kumu, to make it our hula harder and more difficult to be interesting and fresh.
He danced with great conviction and purpose. I am so thankful that we were privileged to have his spirit and life force dance with us to share our triumph and victories as well as our laughter and smiles.
