Though some of them have been forgotten, two important traditions are still alive today. One of these is the “lei”and the other is the“hula”. In the local story, leis were first given to Hawaiians by the goddess of kindness and protection. Leis were worn by Hawaiian leaders in activities for peace. Leis are still important to the Hawaiian people and still mean peace and friendship. Hawaiians wear leis at weddings, funerals and other important ceremonies. Leis are created from many kinds of fresh flowers. The flowers are tied together to form a large circle. Many flowers are needed to make a colorful lei. Because the flowers must be fresh, the leis can't be made in advance. Leis are often worn by Hawaiians when they dance the hula. The Hawaiians said the goddess Laka taught the people how to dance the hula. At first it was danced only by the men. But later, women began to dance the hula, too. Now it is danced mostly by women. Many Hawaiians have learned how to dance the hula. But the best hula dancers have taken classes for years and worked hard to learn the special movements. It is not easy to do the hula, though it may seem so simple when done well. Music which is played on Hawaiian instruments goes with the dancing. These instruments are made of bamboo, wood and gourds. The musicians also sing softly with the music. The music, singing and dancing together form a Hawaiian-style opera. When Europeans came to Hawaii in the early 1800s, they did not like the hula. So they didn't allow people to dance the hula, and it almost disappeared from Hawaii. However, in the late 1800s, King Kalakaua formed a special dance group and saved this important tradition. 27.Leis are important to Hawaiians because they mean________.
