CLOSEOUT - LIMITED QUANTITY - As pictured on this vintage magnet, Hawaiian folklore and culture is further expressed through the popular Hawaiian dance, Hula. Before the missionaries introduced the written language, early Hawaiian history was once only oral history. Together with the oli, or chant, hula is the telling of life stories, narrating a history and recounting genealogies. A sacred religious art form danced by the privileged and highly regarded few, the hula taught, preserved, and carried over ancient traditions for future generations.
