DescriptionAn empowering celebration of identity, acceptance and Hawaiian culture based on the true story of a young girl in Hawaiʻi who dreams of leading the boys-only hula troupe at her school. Hoonani feels in-between. She doesnt see herself as wahine (girl) OR kane (boy). Shes happy to be in the middle. But not everyone sees it that way. When Hoonani finds out that there will be a school performance of a traditional kane hula chant, she wants to be part of it. But can a girl really lead the all-male troupe? Hoonani has to try . . . Based on a true story, Hoonani: Hula Warrior is a celebration of Hawaiian culture and an empowering story of a girl who learns to lead and learns to accept who she really is--and in doing so, gains the respect of all those around her. Hoonanis story first appeared in the documentary A Place in the Middle by filmmakers Dean Hamer and Joe Wilson.About the AuthorHEATHER GALE is an orthotist and author originally from New Zealand.
