What discouraged event become a celebration at Kalākaua's birthday jubilee?

  • The fire dance

  • The hula

  • The surfing

  • The luau

Answer

In the late 19th century, Christian missionaries discouraged the hula. King Kalākaua was a strong advocate for the hula and he held a birthday jubilee in 1886 which was a celebration of the hula. This event helped to bring the hula back into the public eye and it is now considered one of the most important aspects of Hawaiian culture.
