Kumu Hula Kāwika Keikiali'ihiwahiwa Alfiche has been teaching hula and other aspects of Hawaiian culture for over 17 years and has been a student of the Hawaiian culture all of his life. Kāwika is the Kumu Hula for Hālau o Keikiali'i and is the Director for the Kaululehua Hawaiian Cultural Center in So. San Francisco. With a mission to preserve and perpetuate all things Hawaiian, Kāwika spends his life learning, teaching and sharing his culture through the hula and other cultural art forms. His first Kumu Hula was Tiare Maka-Olanolan Clifford of Hanalei, Kaua`i. After her passing in 1992, Kumu Kāwika became haumana of Kumu Hula Harriet Kahalepoli Keahilihau-Spalding of Keaukaha, Hawai`i who opened hālau with Kumu Kāwika in 1994. Aunty Harriet's Kumu was her grandmother, Mary Ahi`eha Kekuewa, who was affectionately known as Mama Fuji'i. In 1996, Aunty Harriet encouraged Kāwika to learn from Kumu Hula Rae Kahikilaulani Fonseca of Hilo, Hawai`i - an `uniki of Uncle George Lanakilakekiahiali`i Na`ope, a hula master and treasure of Hawai'i. In March 2007, Kumu Kāwika was one of six to be a part of Kumu Rae's first and only `uniki.
