Gather with us for an outdoor screening of the film “KAPU: Sacred Hawaiian Burials” on Saturday, Nov. 29, 2025! The evening includes a moderated panel with filmmaker Keoni Alvarez and guest speakers Palikapu Dedman, Kalaʻi Kamuela, and Clare Apana.More than 20 years ago, Keoni Kealoha Alvarez found his calling when he stumbled upon a secret cave in the forest near his ancestral home of Puna on Hawai‘i Island. Inside this cave were iwi, the sacred bones of Kānaka maoli (Native Hawaiians) from generations past.
“KAPU: Sacred Hawaiian Burials” follows Keoni’s journey in realizing his identity, heritage, and ultimately his legacy within the tradition of protecting his land for his people. Until Keoni knows what will happen to the property, he will remain the keeper of this cave to prevent this burial ground.
