Polynesian dance at the Seattle Folklife Festival, May 27, 2007. This is the first dance, a Hawaiian hula by Halau Hula Pulamahiakalikolehua. It's shaky for the first minute because people are still finding seats. Then it settles down.
Same group, if I'm remembering right. I'm getting so old I should carry a notepad with me at all times to know what I've seen.
This is a dance to a Coming of Pele drum chant.
Cute keiki (little ones) dancing.
About Me
- Dr. Wes Browning
- I have a doctorate in Mathematics from Cornell. I am amused by this. My parents tried to kill me on my 1st birthday. Though I now can't speak it much, and though my parents never could, my first language was Hawaiian, not English. I partially credit an I'iwi for my survival. Hear one on the audio clip at my complete profile. I've been homeless a number of times, for a total of about 4 years. For some of that time I supported myself with the sale of paintings. One of my paintings was chosen for the cover of the premier issue of Real Change, see the links below. Since that first issue in 1994 I have become part of its volunteer editorial committee. I write a regular humor column for the paper, currently titled Adventures in Irony. I serve on the Real Change Board of Directors. I feed the Real Change cat Sid Vicious. Anitra Freeman and I are an item.
