Good video as we approach Merrie Monarch season.
Here's a comprehensive article on the history of hula, from an interview with the author of a recently published book on the subject.
“Before contact with the West, hula was this incredible esoteric tradition,” Constance Hale, the author of the 2016 book The Natives Are Restless: A San Francisco Dance Master Takes Hula Into the Twenty-First Century, explained to me as we sat in her office. Both men and women performed hula, chanting atonally and dancing topless—the men wore loincloths and the women wore skirts made of barkcloth—to heavy percussion sounds pounded with sharkskin drums, sticks, bamboo rattles, gourds, stones, and pebbles.

You could never convince a monkey to give you a banana by promising him limitless bananas after death in monkey heaven.
