KALIHI
Native Hawaiian games highlight HCC makahiki

Advertiser Staff

Honolulu Community College will celebrate makahiki today with native Hawaiian games.

In ancient Hawai'i, the makahiki season ran from late October to early March and was designated as a time to celebrate a successful harvest.

The makahiki celebration at the HCC campus will run from noon to 1 p.m. on the lawn near the Berlin Wall Monument.

Cultural expert La'akea Suganuma will demonstrate makahiki games and ask attendees to participate.

The event is sponsored by the Native Hawaiian Center.
