Annually, longtime and newer Kōloa and Poʻipū residents honored their rich heritage with the Kōloa Plantation Days celebration that was postponed to 2022 because of COVID.
This podcast features oral history recordings of: Iki Mor, Katie Bukowski, Viveiros Vicente Bargayo, Marvin Brennecke, and Robert Kunimura.
