Community leaders from Hāʻena<\/span> talk about recovering from 2018 floods.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Hundreds gathered at the University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at M\u0101noa for the 2024 Piʻo<\/span> Summit: Hulihia: Fire and Rain<\/a>, a free series of forums focused on leveraging ancestral knowledge to support long-term recovery efforts for communities affected by the Lahaina wildfires and the 2018 Kauaʻi<\/span> floods.<\/p>\n

“Piʻo<\/span> summits were created to highlight ancestral innovation and the need for courageous leadership to solve the complex problems of our time,” said Kamanamaikalani Beamer, who is the Dana Naone Hall Endowed Chair in Hawaiian Studies, Literature and the Environment at Â鶹´«Ã½nuākea<\/span> and a professor at Kamakak\u016bokalani Center for Hawaiian Studies<\/a> and the William S. Richardson School of Law<\/a>. “Aloha ʻāina<\/span> (love of the land) is advancing efforts all across Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span>, and this is about us galvanizing that movement here at the university.”<\/p>\n
