Hawaiian Rennaissance



The Hawaiian Renaissance generally applies to the time period of approximately 1971 to 1980, during which there was a resurgence of traditional Kanaka Maoli culture in Hawaiʻi, with a significant divergence from the tourism-based "culture" for which Hawaiʻi was previously known worldwide. Hallmarks of this time period include a return to "grassroots", traditionally-influenced music such as Gabby Pahinui and the Sons of Hawaiʻi, intense land struggles such as that of Kalama Valley, Kahoʻolawe and Waiahole/Waikane, and an ʻopio (young people) ʻs resurgence of traditional practices such as loʻi kalo (taro patch) farming, folk arts, and malama ʻaina (traditional forestry/ land healing and restoration).
