Watch Hawaii's Only Canoe Pageant:
|
|
The sound of the conch shell signals
the arrival of the Hawaiian ali'i nui or "high chief" and his retinue.
The ali'i nui proudly displays the royal cape, helmet and sash which
anciently were made from the selected red and gold plumage of hundreds of birds
(the birds were snared and released after a few feathers were plucked from each
one).
Tall kahili standards, also made from feathers, indicate the high chief's
royal descent. His queen, the ali'i wahine, wears a pa'u or yellow
dress, while her attendant or kahu is dressed in red.. |
