Beginning in June 2014, Haleakalā National Park will host a series of Native Hawaiian cultural programs and performances in the Kīpahulu and Summit Districts of the park. The park seeks cultural practitioners who will demonstrate Native Hawaiian crafts or arts and engage visitors during their activity. Schools and community groups are especially encouraged to apply. Through support from our non-profit partner, the Hawai`i Pacific Parks Association, an honorarium of $200 will be offered to each group of practitioners. Hawai`i Pacific Parks Association will also offset the purchase of supplies (up to $200) to be used by visitors during a demonstration. Cultural programs and performances will occur in the Summit and Kīpahulu Districts of the park between 1pm and 3pm on the second and fourth Saturdays of each month, starting on June 14, 2014. The venues are: next to the Kīpahulu Visitor Center, in Kīpahulu; or next to the Headquarters Visitor Center in the Summit District. Please plan on setting up by 12:30pm. Plan on 100-200 visitors taking part in your activity. Please note that practitioners will not be allowed to sell any products or collect tips in the park. One 10x15 tent, some chairs, and 1-2 small tables will be available for practitioners to use. Any additional set-up equipment will need to be provided by the practitioner.
