•UNUKUPUKUPU is the name of the rigorous didactic and experiential hula curricula of Dr. Taupōuri Tangarō.

•UNUKUPUKUPU extends beyond the college halls, reaching our families and communities- local and global

•UNUKUPUKUPU also produces, organically, a network for support and lifelong, Earth-centric learning.

•UNUKUPUKUPU’s most empowering component is that the door to continued participation in hula is open far after college graduation. Here former and current learners, as well as their families, continue their individual and collective life journey through hula.

•UNUKUPUKUPU has hula learners in West Hawaii, Kōhala, Hilo, in the City of Carson California, and at three public charter schools: Ke Ana Laʻahana and Ka ʻUmeke Kāʻeo of Keaukaha, and Kanuokaʻāina of Kōhala
