On Wednesday 24 November 2021, as part of the Fulbright NZ Good Works series, we were thrilled to host Dr Manulani Aluli Meyer in a special presentation about Nā Mea Makahiki – a time where Hawaiians honour and celebrate peace, gratitude and excellence.
The Makahiki Season is marked by the rising of nā huihui o makaliʻi, (the Pleiades) in the East at sunset. It is a time of change, rising seas, potent rains and kanalua winds.
You can watch Dr Aluli’s talk here.
