When talking about a Luau, you need to understand what a Luau is and why it is important to our people culturally.
You might not know this but in ancient Hawaiian tradition, women were not allowed to eat meals with men. They were forced to eat their meals apart. Furthermore, women were not allowed to partake in certain foods.
They believed that certain foods held different spiritual significance and represented different things. These foods were only allowed to be eaten by men because it was taboo for a woman to experience them.
King Kamehameha II was the king that finally removed these outdated religious rules. He broke tradition and ate a meal with women for the first time and celebrated their coming together. This was the first Luau.
That is why Hawaiian luaus are so important to our culture, they represent our first coming together fully as a people.
Now that you understand more about them, what makes a luau so unique?
