ʻAha<\/span> ʻĀina<\/span> Aloha<\/a>, a colloquium bringing together colleagues, storytellers, cultural practitioners, educators and community members to discuss land-based relationships, will be held at the University of Â鶹´«Ã½–West<\/span> Oʻahu<\/span><\/a> on Friday, January 4, 7:30 a.m.–4 p.m.<\/p>\n

The conference involves sharing stories of ʻEwa<\/span> and Honouliuli, while exploring cultural approaches to landscaping and witnessing how ʻāina<\/span> (land) educates, inspires and instructs.<\/p>\n

Attendees can chose to sit in on one of three tracks.<\/p>\n

Welina Honouliuli–Stories of our beloved ʻEwa<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Moʻolelo<\/span> (story) is a tool for continuity, bringing people into their shared and intersecting histories. They can thrill, guide and shape a mutually emergent future that everyone will participate in. Welina Honouliuli will feature cultural practitioners, language scholars, digital storytellers and kahuʻāina<\/span> stewards who are passionate about the role and purpose of story.<\/p>\n

Cultural landscaping–Ecological rehabilitation practices<\/strong><\/p>\n

Creating authentic and loving relationships with the earth, sky and water can be practiced anywhere. There will be cultural landscaping sessions with kupuna, cultural practitioners, ethnobotanists, landscaping practitioners and community members who are dedicated to these ideas in unique ways.<\/p>\n

ʻĀina<\/span>-based education–Learning from land<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hear how experienced educators keep love and care of the land as central operating principles of their teaching and learning. A master\u2019s cohort in land-based indigenous education from the University of Saskatchewan will detail and summarize their final projects in land-based learning.<\/p>\n

The ʻaha<\/span> organized by Manulani Aluli-Meyer<\/strong>, UH<\/abbr> West Oʻahu<\/span>\u2019s Konohiki of Kūlana o Kapolei, will feature participants and speakers from UH<\/abbr> West Oʻahu<\/span>, Kumu Pono Associates, Cultural Surveys Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span>, Volcanoes National Park, Mālama Learning Center, Palehua, Kamehameha Schools, Purple Maiʻa<\/span>, the Office of Hawaiian Affairs, HART<\/abbr>, the University of Saskatchewan and others.<\/p>\n
