The Department of Anthropology<\/a> in the College of Social Sciences<\/a> at the University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at Mānoa<\/a> and Kamehameha Schools<\/a> have partnered to establish the North Shore Field School. Launched in early January, the field school provides students with a unique opportunity for archeological field training at Kupopolo Heiau, one of the most significant wahi kūpuna (ancestral places) remaining in the ahupuaʻa<\/span> of Kawailoa on Oʻahu<\/span>’s North Shore.<\/p>\n

Every Saturday for the next three months, archaeology and anthropology students will work alongside community volunteers to identify, survey, and map features, as well as document cultural materials uncovered in limited excavations. The field school will also host discussions and demonstrations to provide students with insights and perspectives from cultural practitioners from the North Shore community.<\/p>\n

The North Shore Field School represents a new, collaborative ʻāina<\/span>-based anthropology in Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> that brings together members of the North Shore, Kamehameha Schools and UH<\/abbr> Mānoa communities to care for and learn from Oʻahu<\/span>’s ancestral places. It aims to increase community awareness of and engagement with anthropology, particularly cultural resource management activities.<\/p>\n

The information collected by North Shore Field School students will be used by Kamehameha Schools’ Wahi Kūpuna Program to assess, prioritize and monitor threats and ensure proper stewardship and protection of such sites for future generations.<\/p>\n
