Join an evening of culture, conversation, and community as Brandon Ufugusuku Ing introduces Uchinaaguchi, the indigenous language of Okinawa. This informal session is a great opportunity to learn the history and significance of Uchinaaguchi, learn simple words and phrases, and talk story.

Stay afterward to continue the conversation with fellow attendees. If you play sanshin, ukulele, guitar, or another instrument, feel free to bring it along—there may be an informal kanikapila to wrap up the evening. All ages welcome!

The HUOA Summer Yuntaku Series is a casual Okinawan culture and arts exchange designed to bring together Uchinānchu and friends to learn, connect, and celebrate our shared heritage.
