Lei Pua ʻAla Queer Histories of Hawaiʻi
Welcome to Lei Pua Ala Queer Histories of Hawaiʻi, a multidimensional project to document and memorialize gender and sexual diversity across the uniquely multicultural landscape of Hawaiʻi. Our aims are to end the harms of centuries of marginalization and erasure and empower queer communities through education and engagement programs, public art, exhibitions, performances, markers and monuments that serve as visible reminders of our shared humanity and the values that bind us together. Grounded in Kanaka philosophy and the cultures and worldviews of others who have come to call Hawaiʻi home, our title “Lei Pua ʻAla” (garland of fragrant flowers) reflects a Hawaiian perspective on the beauty and diversity of our rainbow communities.
