What It Takes To Tell Warrior Stories Through Hula ๐ฎ๐บ Great Big Story 2024-05-01 | As we celebrate the beginning of Asian-Pacific American Heritage, we highlight the beautiful, inspirational and fearless traditions within these cultures. ๐A common misconception about hula is that it's a dance tradition strictly for women. Nope. In ancient Hawai'i, men were the first to dance hula, and the best dancers were even chosen to become warriors. Today, Ke Kai O Kahikiโone of Hawai'i's most famous male hula schoolsโis carrying on this tradition by telling warrior stories with dance. To do so, dancers train in the same way as their ancient forbearers, using the land itself as a harsh and unforgiving gym.

Why The Arabian Oryx Is So Unique In Nature Great Big Story 2024-04-21 | Have you heard of the Arabian Oryx? If you haven't, it's probably because they were once declared extinct!This symbol of the Arabian Peninsula was almost completely lost when declared extinct in the early 1970s due to poaching. Since then, there's been a heroic conservation effort, raising its status from "extinct" to "vulnerable" with plans to circulate the rehabilitated population of Oryx around the UAE. These antelope creatures, hunted for their tusks, have developed incredible survival adaptations for living in the desert climate, and are an emblem for the resilience of Arabic history.This Great Big Story is sponsored by @museumofthefuture#Travel #Nature #DubaiLead Producer - Chris AgathangelouDirector - Alistair DeaconExec Producer - Genevieve InghamCamera - Alessandro PavoneCamera Assistant - Faisal IrshadDrone Operators - Khaled Zaazouh, Angela BarnsleyEditor - Steven KellyGraphics - Will MinnsGot a story idea for us?

Women are changing the face of basketball one hoop at a time ๐ #shorts #basketball Great Big Story 2024-04-16 | Hear that swish? Thatโs the Salam Stars crushing it on the court. The all-female varsity basketball team is made up of Muslim students from the Salam School, an Islamic school in Milwaukee. All the players wear hijabs and modest athletic wear. In an ideal world, that wouldnโt be a big deal, but they often face judgment based on their outfits and their religion. But these athletes ignore the haters. The Salam Stars are focused on the game. They play to win while making space for other girls to do the same.#Sports #Muslim #WNBAGot a story idea for us?
