Akiko Masuda, President of the Wailea/Hakalau Kumai shares the meaning of Kumai:
Today's kumiai is a celebration of community, complete with lots of food, games for children and adults, songs, a book exchange, and lots of storytelling.

Bingo is a big hit at the kumiai, with special prizes like toilet paper, vienna sausage, and spam.
For the Hakalau Kuleana, our responsibility is to care for the land, the people, and the culture. We are guided by the YESTERDAY'S cultural values: Engage in collective effort. Look out for each other. Honor hard work. Show respect for those who came before us. Aloha and Mālama `Aina.
