8/17/17 — Huliko‘a Kaiāulu Scholar Speaker Series — 5:30pm

The following announcement comes from Kamehameha Schools:

Aloha kākou,

Since 2014, Huliko‘a Kaiāulu has provided 40 presenters the opportunity to share their manaʻo, research, and future plans with this community. Over 1100 people have come to learn and be inspired by their mo‘olelo and educational journeys. This year, in the spirit of continuing the message of Mālama Honua and honoring Hōkūle’a, our topics and presentations will revolve around navigation and wayfinding.

Join us on Thursday, August 17 @ 5:30 p.m. to hear from Kainani Kahaunaele, Ānuenue Punua, Kēhau Enos, and Bonnie Kahapeʻa. They will each share the direct impact of traditional Polynesian navigation and the teachings of Grand Master Navigator Pius Mau Piailug on their lives as women voyagers. All of them have used the teachings of Papa Mau and their own personal voyaging experiences as guiding stars in their families, lifestyles, careers, and communities.

Through education each of these women have spread Mau teachings in classrooms, through music, hula, outdoor hands on educational programs and much more.

Join us as they share original musical compositions, hula, and stories of their journeys since sailing with Papa Mau 18 years ago and waʻa related educational opportunities.

Don’t forget to check out the Kamehameha Schools YouTube channel for past speaker’s videos: Huliko‘a Kaiāulu Playlist.

To help us prepare for these events, RSVP by calling 670-2045 or e-mailing clcprograms@ksbe.edu. Please feel free to forward this message to others.

Huliko‘a Kaiāulu, “Explorations of the Kaiāulu breeze”, is brought to you by Kamehameha Schools, INPEACE, and UH Hawaiinuiākea.
