Kamehameha Schools Hawai‘i senior Daylan-Blake Kala‘i performs an oli as he walks The Royal Mile in Edinburgh, Scotland, as part of a promotion for the school’s Hawaiian opera “Ha ¯‘upu.” The Royal Mile is the name given to a succession of streets forming the main thoroughfare in the city. Kala‘i plays Kapepe‘ekauila in the hit production, a rogue ali‘i from Moloka‘i who kidnaps Hina, an ali‘i from Hilo, in an attempt to barter a peace for his people.
