Kumu Hula (or "hula master") Leato S. Savini of the Hawaiian cultural
academy Hālau Nā Mamo O Tulipa, located in Waiʻanae, Japan, and Virginia,
believes that hula goes as far back as what the Hawaiians call the Kumulipo,
or account of how the world was made first and foremost through the god of
life and water, Kane. Kumu Leato is cited as saying, "When Kane and the
other gods of our creation, Lono, Kū, and Kanaloa created the earth, the
man, and the woman, they recited incantations which we call Oli or Chants
and they used their hands and moved their legs when reciting these oli.
Therefore this is the origin of hula."
American Protestant missionaries, who arrived in 1820, often denounced the
hula as a heathen dance holding vestiges of paganism. The newly
Christianized aliʻi (royalty and nobility) were urged to ban the hula. In
1830 Queen Kaʻahumanu forbade public performances. However, many of them
continued to privately patronize the hula. By the 1850s, public hula was
regulated by a system of licensing.
