Hālau Nā Kīpuʻupuʻu is the Cultural Division of the Waimea Hawaiian Homestead Organization. This hālau is rooted in the practices of ancient Hawaiʻi, the great Kamehameha family and his famous Kīpuʻupuʻu Warriors. Anchored in the Hawaiian culture and language while immersed in the traditions and teachings of the Kamohoaliʻi family, they descend from the Puʻukapu plains of Waimea on the slopes of Mauna Kea.

This world-renowned hālau is under the direction of Kumu Hula Micah Kamohoaliʻi. Known for their powerful energy, ʻaihaʻa and emphatic style of chant and dance that comes from Hawaiʻi Island, they are linked to the powerful rains of their homeland and known to bring on a downpour.

Hālau Nā Kīpuʻupuʻu is celebrated for revitalizing many ancient art forms and practices and for being truly authentic. They have presented, performed, and taught in many countries around the world including the famous British Museum in London, where they were featured in a year long exhibit for their works in Kapa, the Theatre Adyar at the Eiffel Tower of Paris, The Ohga Opera Hall, the Kyoto Cultural Theatre of Japan, and The Grand Theatre of Papeʻete Tahiti in French Polynesia. In 2015 - 2017 they toured their award winning Hula Drama entitled “Hanau Ke Aliʻi” locally to all eight Hawaiian Islands presenting on the finest stages Hawaiʻi has to offer as well internationally to France, Belgium, Holland, London, Ireland, and Tahiti. 

Cultural leaders within the Waimea landscapes they strive to preserve, perpetuate, and practice native tradition to honor the akua, the kanaka, and the ʻāina.
