Nā Mamo photo show continues

Bishop Museum is extending the closing date of its photo-doc-umentary "Nā Mamo: Today's Hawaiian People." Admission is free. "Nā Mamo," a collection of 90

black and white photos covering 12 subjects of Hawaiian culture, is the result of four years of research, interviews and photography by photographer Anne Kapulani Landgraf and writer Jay

Hartwell. The photos cover such areas of Hawaiian culture as hula, surfing, healing spirituality and the quest for sovereignty. There is also a section on mele (song) with text

and photos of the Makaha Sons of Ni'ihau, recent winners of five Nā Hoku Hanohano awards. Their winning album, "Ho'oluana," provides the background music to the exhibit. Bishop Museum is located at 1525 Bernice St. and is open daily from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. For more information, eall 8473511.
