DA STORY OF THE GATEWAY

MORE THAN JUST A MURAL“Aloha Aunties, Uncles, and Keiki! (Ladies,Gentlemen, and Children in Hawaiian Pidgin.) I’d like totell you the story of how The Gateway got its name.
As you know, Hawaii is right in the middle of the3DFLÀF³WKH¶JDWHZD\·EHWZHHQWKH(DVWDQG:HVW
Along these lines, The Gateway at the Polynesian
Cultural Center was built as a gathering place
where everyone on Oahu, from mauka to makai(mountains to the ocean), are welcome.

Our mural is one of the largest in the world. But
the tale behind it is pretty grand too. The 500-footmural encircles the entire interior and reinforces
our gathering place theme. As guests enter, they
are greeted by a bountiful Hawaiian landscape andthe welcoming gestures from King Kamehameha
himself, inviting all to join him in a royal feast.

Here, all visitors are invited to join in harmony
as members of an extended ohana (family) toshare in an ono (tasty) feast celebrating the richbounty of Hawaii’s land and sea. The broke damouth (very delicious) buffet features authentic
