The Hukilau Song - Jack Owensthe hukilau song was based on jack owens visit to Laie Bay
jack owens - 1948 oh we're going to a hukilau a huki huki huki huki hukilau everybody loves the hukilau where the laulau is the kaukau at the lu`au we throw our nets out into the sea and all the `ama`ama come a-swimming to me oh, we're going to a hukilau a huki huki huki hukilau what a beautiful day for fishing that old hawaiian way where the hukilau nets are swishing down in old la`ie bay |
Hukilau - [hoo kee lau']this is an old Hawaiian way of fishing, involving casting a long net from the shore, then enlisting a large group to help to pull the net to shore. the net is lined with ki (ti) leaves which help scare fish toward the middle of the net.
