Uli'uli, the Hula Dancer 

Birth Date: ‘Apelila 10, 2020 (04/10/20) 

Aloha Mai 

I come with love. 

Uli'uli’s Hula honors the miracle of creation. 

Join her in her celebration of life’s joys and abundance! 

Uli'uli (Feather Gourd) dances the ancient Hawaiian Kahiko Hula.
The beautiful movements of her hands and body tell stories about the wonders of nature, the creation of the world and the Menehune Ohana (family). Uli'uli’s traditional feather gourds add sound and excitement to her dance. Her performance is a magnificent spectacle!

Tutu (grandmother) is Uli’uli’s Kumu Hula (Hula Teacher). She taught her the powerful movements of the Kahiko Hula.
Uli'uli is named after the Hawaiian Uli'uli (feather gourd). Tutu and Uli'uli made the feather gourds out of wood and bright red and yellow feathers. Tutu blessed the feather gourds with Hawaiian salt and special prayers. The gourds are sacred now. They were created for Uli'uli and only she is allowed to touch them.
Tutu also hand crafted the traditional green grass skirt and red top and pants for Uli’uli.
Tutu wove green feather Haku wrist and ankle leis for Uli’uli. In Hawaii the Hulu (feather) represents spiritual strength, unity and love. It is believed to link to the divine.
Last Tutu draped a white conch shell necklace around her neck and put a yellow Hibiscus flower behind her ear.
All these precious things were Tutu’s gifts of Aloha (Love) to her Mo’opuna Wahine (granddaughter).

Uli’uli is about 4” tall fitting in the palm of your hand. The body is made out of doll skin and wired for flexibility. The eyes and mouth are intricately embroidered onto the face. Uli’uli has tiny little hands and feet, ears, buttocks, and a belly button. All of Uliuli’s accessories were individually handcrafted.

Doll care: Gently brush the dolls and their clothing with a soft toothbrush to remove dust. Always brush the faces and bodies upwards towards the hair.

Uli’uli is a one of a kind display doll handcrafted by Hawaiian Dolls. She comes with her story and a certificate of authenticity.

Uli’uli is ready to be your new friend and dance her way into your heart. 

Uli'uli's Hula teaches about all that is sacred.
