    Pacific Missile Range Facility, Kekaha (June 20, 2026) — Members of the Kupuna Klub and Hui Kapa Aloha offer a hula in honor of the ancestors of Na 'Ohana Papa 'O Mana. Leadership from the Pacific Missile Range Facility, Barking Sands (PMRF) joined lineal descendants of Na ʻOhana Papa O Mānā, to observe the annual Summer Solstice in a reverent and unifying ceremony held at the Lua Kupapa’u ‘O Nohili on base. The ceremony focused on honoring the history of the land, paying respects to those who came before us and reinforcing the vital partnership between the U.S. Navy, Na ʻOhana Papa O Mānā and the host cultural protocol.
