Presentation: Hawaiian Plumeria History with Ken Sakata

Have you ever wondered about the stories behind some of the most famous Hawaiian plumeria?

Ken Sakata will educate and entertain us with his extensive knowledge of their history.

About Ken:

Ken was born and raised in Hawai’i, where both sides of his family immigrated to in the 1890’s.

In 1980, Ken first began his studies to traditional hula and as a result, greatly increased his knowledge of Hawaiian culture, language, history and legends. That same year, together with two of his friends, Ken began writing the first of their five books, Pidgin To Da Max, a pidgin English dictionary which would go on to become the best selling locally written book in the history of Hawai’i.

Like most locals, Ken grew up surrounded by plumeria, made and received hundreds of leis and has many fond memories of special trees and colors.
