According to Ms. Macdonald, “The idea of outfitting real people in real kapa is not new.  It has been tried on different scales, different levels, on different occasions in contemporary times.  We want to outfit one hālau in kapa with true adornments of the kahiko period.” 

The kapa that is being made for this event will be loaned or gifted to the hālau to use and display for at least a year.  The group of kapa practitioners hopes to be able to secure funding to allow Hālau O Kekuhi to travel to other islands in order to showcase the hula and kapa arts.
