Aloha, and welcome to the Polynesian Cultural Centerʻs historical website, legacy.polynesia.com, which is designed especially for PCC alumni, BYU–Hawaii faculty and students, residents of Laie and the surrounding communities, friends, former “labor and senior missionary volunteers,” and appreciated guests who enjoyed their experiences with us enough to return multiple times over the years.

While our main website, polynesia.com, is designed to explain how daily guests can enjoy their current and future visits to the Center, this site delves into the inspiration, personal experiences, and spiritual feelings that motivated our founders, our kūpuna, and our many thousands of employees from Laie and beyond, to spread aloha around the world through the cultures, diversity, and spirit of Polynesia, and their related experiences at BYU–Hawaii.

For over 60 years, our PCC predecessors have compiled careful records of almost all our doings, and while many of those efforts focus on everyday visitor interactions, Legacy also looks at the whys and the personal changes that have happened to many of those who shared their aloha spirit on these grounds. Legacy will introduce you to some of our finest students and managers in ways you may also feel but not fully realize while you’re at the Center. It’s hard to imagine how personally enriched many of our visitors become after they spend time with us.

Legacy is the type of website you might consider browsing and returning to from time to time as our small team of archivists, writers, photographers, videographers, and volunteers collects outstanding personal and historical stories of the most amazing people and predecessors with whom I am and have been privileged to work.

MAHALO NUI to all who have so graciously shared your time and talent at the Polynesian Cultural Center. Thanks for visiting our legacy site, and please come again!
