Hale Hūlili
& E Hō Mai

The Hale Hūlili (Hulili) chant was written by K. Kuulei Kanahele for the clients and staff of Bridge House in Keauhou Mauka. Each client is expected to learn this chant before graduating the program. This chant, along with E Hō Mai, written by Aunty Edith Kanakaʻole, is one of two chants that are learned in the very beginning of the cultural program.
