HE INOA NO LILI`UOKALANI!
`ĀINA`IKE ON THE AIR LIVE!

Join me on Tuesday, September 2, 2025 from 9am to 11am for a very special tribute to Queen Lili`uokalani in honor of her 187th birthday anniversary. I am so grateful that her actual birthdate falls on a Tuesday morning that I am in the KKCR studio for my weekly `Āina`ike On The Air show. So, I want to make it a very special morning for all of us to partake in and share!

Join me for a presentation of ho`okupu, humble offerings of aloha and the sharing of kuamo`o`ōlelo, mo`okū`auhau and mele composed by or for her Royal Majesty, Queen Lili`uokalani.
Also, KKCRʻs Laulima Fund Drive begins the following week on Monday, September 8. Will you please kōkua and make a contribution to support `Āina`ike On The Air and KKCR Kaua'i Community Radio? I hope youʻll tune in and spend your morning with me!

Me ka ha`aha`a,
Kumu Kēhaulani Kekua
