Organization

Halau Ho‘'ola Ka Mana O Hawai‘'i is a traditional hula h?lau based in Houston, Texas. We are also an incorporated non-profit organization of the State of Texas. The h?lau was founded by and is currently under the direction of Kumu Hula Frank Keli'i Chang, III.

The name of the halau, Halau Ho‘'ola Ka Mana O Hawai‘'i, means "Resurrect the power of Hawaii -- the hula." Our mission is to create resource centers aimed at 1) preserving the past of Hawaiian culture; 2) perpetuating its future, and 3) educating a variety of haum?na about hula -- the power of Hawai'i.

We seek to become an impactful Hawaiian cultural school found outside of the state Hawaii. We hope that it is through engaging the community-at-large that we can foster friendships across many cultures and create a "home away from home" for all who come through our h?lau doors. .
