Addie, I think you meant PCC, the Polynesian Cultural Center and I don't recall there being any "elves" there.
Also, most of the folks who work there are students at BYU-Hawaii from all over the Globe. They are LDS young adults who depict Pacific Rim Cultures no matter where they are from, in small "Villages", demonstrating that culture through dance, music, crafts and skills .
As far as for Olelo Hawaii, that was not something that you heard very often outside of local homes. Today is a whole different ball game with the Hawaiian language, but that's for another thread.
Thank you for the correction. I couldn't think of the full name. I wore a little green costume and one of my jobs was to greet the visitors. I did try to learn how to make the leis. To no avail.
My ex went back into court to seek permanent custody of my son. According to him I was working full time and wouldn't have time to take care of him. Poo was also picking up the language rather fast. As kids are wont to do. "He should only be speaking pure American", according to his father.
Wrong thing to tell a Native Hawaiian judge.
Before I left the job, I took Poo there and he spent the whole day wandering around and learned so much. Best decision and action on my part. He has kept his fond memories of the island.
