Ke kumu hou, nā meaʻai a me nā mea kōkua no ka hauʻoliʻana i ka puke o Hawaiʻi
ʻO kekahi o nā nīnau pinepine aʻu e loaʻa ai mai ka poʻe mua e hoʻolālā ana i ka holoʻana i Hawaii, "He aha ka luau? I hea kahi luau maikaʻi a me ka mea e hanaʻia ana i hoʻokahi?"
I ka manawa e kamaʻilio ai me nā poʻe helehelena, keʻike nei au,ʻoiaiʻo ka makemake loa e hele i kahi luau,ʻike nui ka poʻe e pili ana i ka luau, ma waho o nā mea iʻikeʻia ma nā kiʻi Hollywood, e like me Blue Hawaii me Elvis Presley.
Ua kākau wau i kahi hiʻohiʻona holoʻokoʻa ma kaʻu luau punahele ma nā mokupuni likeʻole, akā he mea maikaʻi no nā malihini e aʻo i kahi mea e pili ana i ka moʻolelo o ka luau a me kekahi mea e pili ana i nāʻano meaʻai a lākou eʻike ai ma nā luaus i Hawaii.
ʻO Origins o ka Luau
I ka wā kahiko, e'ākoakoa ai nā poʻe Hawaiʻi e hāpai i nā hana kūpono me kaʻahaʻaina.
Ua mālamaʻia kēia mauʻahaʻaina no nā kumu he nui e like me ka mahaloʻana i ka lanakila nui i ke kaua aiʻole ia he koa kaulana, e hoʻokipa i kaʻai nui aiʻole i ka hānauʻana o ke keiki hou.
Ua manaʻo nā Hawaiʻi he mea nui e mahalo i ko lākou mau akua a eʻimi i ko lākou launa, kōkua a kala paha. Ua manaʻo lākou he pono e māhele i ka pono i nāʻohana a me nā hoaaloha. Ua kapaʻia kēiaʻahaʻainaʻo "'aʻalaʻaina"ʻo ia hoʻiʻo kaʻohi ( 'aha ) no kaʻai. ʻO kaʻahaʻaina kaʻai, ka mele a me ke hula.
E pili ana i kēia mau hoʻohanohano eʻike muaʻia ai ka luaus ma ka paʻi ma nāʻaoʻao o ka Pacific Commercial Advertiser i 1856.
(Pukui-Elbert Hawaiian Dictionary, 1986).
ʻO ka hua luau , ma ka'ōlelo Hawaiʻi, pili i nā'ōpiopio liʻiliʻi o ke kalo. Ua hoʻohanaʻia kēia mau lau i kaʻai i hoʻomoʻia i loko o ka imu (ka umu lepo) no kaʻahaʻaina.
Luaus i kēia lā
I kēia lā,'ākoakoa mau nāʻohana Hawaiʻi a paʻa i luaus e hōʻailona i nā hanana kūikawā.
ʻO kēia mau luaus he mau hālāwai kūikawā pinepineʻole ia e ka poʻe malihini kipa i heleʻole mai i nā mokupuni. Akā, inā ua konoʻiaʻoe i kaʻohana luau, he kuleana kūikawā.
I ka holoʻana o nā huakaʻi i Hawaii ma hope o ke Kaua Honua II, uaʻike koke nā hokele, nā hōkele a me nā hui kūikawā he nui loa i kaʻoihana kaʻakaʻi.
Ma Oahu nei, kiʻi lākou i nā tausani o nā malihini kipa i kēlā me kēia pule a lawe iā lākou mai Waikiki mai a hiki i ko lākou mau wahi kaiāulu no ke ahiahi o kaʻai, ka inu a me nā hoʻolālā'āina.
ʻO ka mea hoʻokipa nui loa o ka mokupuni,ʻo ka Hale Kuʻuna Polynesia ma Laie i ka North Shore, e hoʻolaha i ko lākou Aliʻi Luau i kēlā me kēia ahiahi (koe naʻe ka Lāpule).
I nā makahiki i hala iho nei, ua hāʻawi aku ka Royal Hawaiian Hotel i kahiʻahaʻaina kai moana e hōʻike ai i kā lākou kapaʻanaʻo 'Aha' Aina, he Royal Celebration, he hōʻailona no ka inoa mua o kaʻahaʻaina.
ʻO nā Luausʻaʻole Like
Akā,ʻaʻoleʻelua nā luaus. Ua hoʻonuiʻia kekahi luaus no ka poʻe i makemake i ka pāʻina nui me ka nui o ka inu a me nā hoʻokipa, i kahi e komo ai nā manuʻi i nā wahi he nui o ka hōʻike.
ʻO kekahi luaus, e like me ka Old Lahaina Luau ma Maui e ho'āʻo i ka hōʻikeʻana i kahiʻoihana Hawaiʻi maoli.
ʻO ka mea hope loa o nā luaus mōhai
Loaʻa i nā luausʻelua kekahiʻano o nā pāʻani pāʻaniʻai mua. Hiki i kēia hoʻokipa ke hoʻokomo i ka pakuhi e hōʻike ana i ka mō'ī o ka Pākīpika Pākīpika a iʻole nā hōʻikeʻoihana'ē aʻe o nāʻoihana a me nā hana Hawaiʻi.
ʻO ka luau pāʻani lua o Hawaiʻi nei, he pāʻani mele ma hope o kaʻaina me ka hula a me ka hula Polynesian.
Hāʻawi lākou i ka hapanui o nā hula hula a me nā mele mai nā mokupuni o Polynesia, e like me ka hula Hawaiʻi hou, ka hula Tahitian, ka hakahaka a me ka hula, he hula hula Sākona. Eia naʻe,ʻo ka nui o nā hōʻike he nui loa nā Hawaiʻi kahiko kahiko .
ʻO ka pōmaikaʻi, i nā makahiki i hala iho nei, nui nā hōʻike e ho'āʻo nei e hōʻike i kahi hōʻike pono loa o ka hula Hawaiʻi a me ke mele. Ponoʻoe e noi i ka concierge ma kāu hotele a mea hoʻolako pūnaewele paha e pili ana i keʻano o nā hoʻokipa e hōʻikeʻia ma nāʻelua lua a lākou e hana nei.

ʻO kaʻaʻahu ma ka luaus he mea hoʻokupu Hawaiʻi. Aloha nā līʻihi a me nā kuʻikuʻi i kūpono i nā kāne. ʻO nāʻaʻahu nani a me nāʻaʻahu o ke aloha e kūpono i nā wāhine.
ʻIke kūpono
ʻAʻole i hoʻokomo pinepineʻia nā kōkua i kāu uku i uku muaʻia. Hiki ke mahaloʻia kahi leʻaleʻa no kāu mea lawelawe a mea lawelawe paha.
Hiki paha i kahi kiʻi o kāu hui e laweʻia i kou komoʻana i ka hale luau. Ma ka nui o luaus e laweʻia nā kiʻi hou i loko o ka pō. Hoʻokomo pinepineʻia nā kope o kēia mau kiʻi no ka uku hou aku i ka pukaʻana o ka luau.
Nui ka luaus i ke kakahiaka. ʻO kekahi ma keʻano hāmama, akāʻo nā mea'ē aʻe kahi i hana muaʻia. Hana maikaʻi i kāu mau hoʻolaha no ka loaʻaʻana o nā noho maikaʻi loa.
Nui nā luaus e hāʻawi nei i nā papa kūikawā kūikawā no nā poʻe lima kīnā me ka hoʻolaha mua. Pēlā nō, hiki i kekahi luaus ke mālama i ka poʻe me nāʻoihana meaʻai. Eia hou, pono e kākau maikaʻi i mua o ka wā, a me ka maopopo e nīnau e pili ana i kekahi mau koho kūikawā āu e pono ai.
