Nowelo I Kaua‘i Kuapapa

In Search of the Wisdom and Heartbeat of Ancient Kaua‘i

– Presented by Kumu Hula Kēhaulani Kekua

Nowelo I Kaua‘i Kuapapa is a cultural educational series which highlights Kaua‘i’s wahi pana, or storied and celebrated places, through mele pule, mele oli and mele hula – prayers, chants and dances that have been entrusted to the lineage of Kaipuwai. Kumu Hula Kēhaulani Kekua is a revered cultural practitioner and master teacher of traditional hula, born and raised on Kaua‘i. As the hiapo, or firstborn in her family, she was reared in the custom of hānai – freely given to be nurtured and groomed in hula by her maternal grandmother, Helen Kaipuwai Kekua Waiau. It is through her, that Kēhaulani inherited her family’s generations-old lineage and practices of Kaua‘i hula traditions.

PAY IT FORWARD

Kaua‘i Community Radio is a volunteer-driven 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and depends on the kōkua, or support, of listeners like you to stay on the air.  KKCR  is a gift paid forward by over 25 years of radically generous members and volunteers. If you’ve been listening for a while, but haven’t gotten around to donating yet, you can give the gift of great radio this holiday season by clicking “Pay It Forward.” Your one-time donation of only $10 stays on Kaua‘i and fosters meaningful connections in our community. Most importantly, your support keeps KKCR on the air – free to enjoy by the next new listener who hasn’t discovered the joy of giving back to KKCR. Kuleana has many meanings: responsibility, privilege, jurisdiction, interest, ownership, to name a few. Supporting this community resource is all of our kuleana, so pay it forward today. Mahalo nui loa for your kōkua.

KKCR STRATEGIC PLAN

 
Updating KKCR’s Strategic Plan will help us develop the right goals and targets for KKCR and help keep everyone’s efforts focused on meeting them.

As stated by Jerry Brocklehurst in the current Strategic Plan: “By joining together, we can all help the station become what it wants to be and what the community needs it to be – a forum for overlooked, suppressed, and under-represented voices, issues and music, free from the control of commercial and political interests, that reflects the broad, rich spectrum of Kaua‘i’s unique community and promotes the creative, cultural, and political vitality of the community… a station that also preserves, perpetuates, and celebrates Hawaiian culture and that stimulates, educates, and entertains its audience and provides relevant, accurate, and timely information throughout beautiful days on Kaua‘i as well as in times of crisis.” Click here to view the current Strategic Plan.
 

We want your input. Please complete the Strategic Plan Survey:

Mahalo for your participation in shaping KKCR’s future!
