Hinaleimoana Kwai Kong Wong-Kalu (born May 15, 1972) is a Native Hawaiian māhū – a traditional third gender person who occupies "a place in the middle" between male and female – and a modern transgender woman. She is commonly known as Kumu Hina, a name that became widespread after the documentary of the same name introduced her to a broader audience. She is known for her work as a kumu hula ("hula teacher"), as a filmmaker, artist, activist, and as a community leader in the field of Kānaka Maoli language and cultural preservation. She teaches Kānaka Maoli philosophy and traditions that promote cross-cultural alliances throughout the Pacific Islands.
