The traditional feast, Luau, in Hawaii was once referred to as the ‘aha ‘aina and was used to celebrate important events like christenings, weddings, birthdays, coming of age and visitors. The modern term Luau may have originated from the great coed feasts of the Hawaiian King Kamehameha. In traditional Hawaii men and women were not allowed to eat together and all women were forbidden to eat certain kinds of foods in Hawaii. |
