The story:

Another individual initiative emerged in the 1950s when Malia Solomon developed her famous Ulu Mau Village, somewhat in the spirit and style of Lalani Village. Her interest and skills were in crafts such as tapa-making and weaving, and consequently she emphasized aspects of the culture that others had not. But Ulu Mau Village, which was first located in the midst of Ala Moana Park, and then later removed to Heeia-kea, eventually faded away, not for lack of inspired leadership and commitment on the mart of Malia, but for lack of a responsive public.
