Hawai?i Papa O Ke Ao, comprised of representatives of each campus, is a presidential appointed work committee tasked with developing, implementing and assessing strategic actions to make the University of Hawai?i a leader in indigenous education. The phrase simply means Hawai?i Foundations of Enlightenment/Knowledge. The deeper application of this name is cosmogonic, for in the name is Papah¨¡naumoku (Papa) and W¨¡kea (reflected in his Ao form), original parents of Hawai?i Consciousness.
