The distribution of Edith Kanakaʻole quarters was a highlight for hundreds who gathered to honor the cultural icon.
The life and legacy of the late cultural icon Edith Kanakaʻole was celebrated Saturday on the Big Island with a mural, a U.S. quarter and lots of shared memories of dancing, culture, relationships and connections.
A newly minted quarter in the hand might seem, to some, just 25 shiny cents to spend.
The “He Kaʻao No Aunty Edith Kanakaʻole” celebration starts at 10:30 a.m. with a welcoming ceremony in the UH-Hilo Performing Arts Center in Hilo on the Big Island followed by a ceremonial presentation of gifts and tributes.
Community to celebrate legacy of kumu hula, educator Edith Kanakaʻole.
