Aloha! Welcome to the 2019 Waimea Town Celebration! We all look forward to this annual event as it brings us together in the spirit of family, food, fun, events, culture, and tradition.

Many organizations collaborate to bring us this wonderful celebration, and I would like to extend a warm mahalo and aloha to all the sponsors of this celebration and the many community stakeholders and volunteers who work tirelessly each year.

I would also like to thank our residents and visitors for supporting this celebration, which supports our families, local busi-

nesses as well as nonprofit community organizations.

By coming together for the Waimea Town Celebration, we are contributing, supporting, and continuing annual traditions on Kaua‘i and enhancing our local economy.

With Warmest Aloha,

Derek S. K. Kawakami Mayor, County of Kaua‘i

Their stories, which are performed live in front of over 1,200 of their peers in a packed Farrington High School auditorium, are drawn from personal life experiences and are 100% original.

Their 2017-2018 performance of “Kipuka” takes on a variety of perspectives on bullying like cyber-bullying, self-bullying, being a bystander to bullying, confronting abusive relationships, and even taking the bully’s perspective. Kipuka demonstrates how positive safe spaces and influences like family and community can help counteract the effects of bullying.

MAUI’S HOOK HIFF is honored to nominate this film for the Festival’s new emerging filmmaker award, the KAU KA HOKU AWARD. The youth suicide rate in New Zealand is twice that of the United States, and five times that of Britain, while Maori men are almost 50% more likely to commit suicide than non-Maori, making it one of the most pressing issues facing the country today.

Speaking to this crisis directly in one of the most original and stirring films released this year, psychologist and filmmaker Paora Joseph journeys New Zealand’s North Island with families who lost someone close to them to suicide.

MAUI’S HOOK is built to start conversations and provoke positive action.

HIFF is proud to present the international premier of this important and vital film.

2019 Waimea Town Celebration T-shirts designed by Na Makua Makani is the theme for this year’s Waimea Town Celebration design. Its inspiration draws from the famed Kiu-winds and river of Waimea, Waiahulu.

Waiahulu translates as “feathered, ruffled, foamy or discolored waters,” the effect caused by the Kiuwinds that blow over the river. The name may also be read as Wai - a - (ka)hulu. Water that derives from esteemed older generations.

Shirts are available at the 2-day ho’olaule’a while supplies last. Prices start at $20 and will include regular T’s, tank tops and long sleeve.
