Stew & Rice
Enriching Events The 2023 season is well underway, and the Historical Committee is excited and thankful to be able to continue bringing an enthralling lineup of presenters for Stew & Rice. RECENT January 17 The Club welcomed filmmaker Keoni Alvarez and his mentor Palikapu Dedman, who spoke on their mission to preserve ancient Hawaiian burial sites. Keoni’s fascination began in the early 2000s when ancient human remains were discovered at a location targeted for a housing project on the Big Island. That fateful moment led him on a 20-year journey in which he became deeply invested in the issue of Native Hawaiian burial sites. During that time, he produced three books and the two-hour documentary, Kapu: Sacred Hawaiian Burials , featured at Stew & Rice. Not a single person left early that evening, even though this may have been the lengthiest documentary ever shown at Stew & Rice. Instead, silence filled the room for the eye-opening, tear-jerking film. February 21 Kealakai Center and Pacific Strings Museum founder Kilin Reece and filmmaker Myrna Kamae dove into the rich history of the violin in Hawai‘i. Following the discussion, guests reveled in a live performance by members of the award-winning Mana Music Quartet, who performed string arrangements of HRH Queen Lili‘uokalani’s compositions. Plus, we watched the documentary Li‘a: The Legacy of a Hawaiian Man , an unforgettable film about Sam Li‘a whose music and life was filled with the spirit of Hawai‘i.

UPCOMING March 21
Join us for a special evening with Joey Cabell, a man of many accomplishments, including being a member of the Waterman Hall of Fame and Duke Kahanamoku Surf Team. Enjoy a viewing of Joey Cabell: The Legend of Surf , the story of the legendary championship surfer who helped revolutionize the sport in the 1960s in Hawai‘i, while becoming the ultimate renaissance man as a world-class sailor, skier and entrepreneur (he launched the famous Chart House restaurant). April 18 Learn about the fascinating history of the Hawaiian Flag and Hawaiian Coat of Arms with Dr. Douglas Askman, who has taught History at Hawai‘i Pacific University for over 20 years and has been a docent at ‘Iolani Palace for more than two decades. In addition to the Hawaiian Flag, Dr. Askman will enrich us with the history of the royal flags from the Hawaiian Kingdom and other ocial flags used during and after the monarchy.
