Help us celebrate the arrival of Hikianalia & crewmembers to Catalina Island! The arrival will include a ceremonial welcome from the local Tongva Tribe led by Cindi Alvitre, as well as Hawaiian chants and cultural protocol from Hikianalia crewmembers.

This event is free, open to the public and great for people of all ages interested in voyaging, traditional wayfinding, and Hawaiian culture.

Traditional voyaging canoe Hikianalia has sailed more than 2,800 miles from the shores of Hawaiʻi across the North Pacific to the State of California inspiring action toward an environmentally and culturally thriving world. We are excited to meet you as we continue sailing down the California coast: keep up with us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter… and as always, at www.hokulea.com
