Episode: Hokule'a Arrival at the Grand Naniloa Hotel. On May 21, 2025, the legendary voyaging canoes Hokule'a and Hikinalia made a historic landing at the Grand Naniloa Hotel in Hilo, marking the 50th anniversary of Hokule'a and the start of a new four-year Moananuiakea voyage. This episode captures the emotion, ceremony, and mana of the moment - where community members, students, kupuna, and crew came together to celebrate the canoe's culture legacy. Told though real voices, this special Culture Corner honors the deep connections between past and future, land and sea, and the enduring role of Hokule'a in shaping Hawaii's cultural journey.
