Our History
Henry George, born on Rarotonga, Cook Islands, and Yvette Dille, born on Kona, Hawaii, met and fell in love while serving as missionaries for the Island Breeze Organization. They eventually married and settled in Kona performing for Island Breeze Productions at the King Kamehameha Resort. Henry began teaching drumming and Yvette taught Polynesian dance. They combined their skills in 2002 and formed the group Tevakanui, which means the Journey (usually as two words Te Vaka), Henry put the words together to symbolize the unity of the group as a family and established our motto, “Take the Journey.” A few years later, they had a calling to move the group to Las Vegas. Along with the Tutu’ila Family and others,Tevakanui quickly became the largest Polynesian Group in the Valley
