Kumu Hina

Imagine a world where a little boy can grow up to be the woman of his dreams, and a young girl can rise to become a leader among men. Welcome to Kumu Hina's Hawai'i.

Kumu Hina tells the inspiring story of Hina Wong-Kalu, a transgender native Hawaiian teacher, or Kumu, who brings to life Hawai'i's traditional embrace of Mahu - those who embody both male and female spirit.
