Knowledge comes through action, not through mere desire.
Hawaiian knowledge is more accessible now than it’s been in over a hundred years and that valuable knowledge, the legacy of centuries, is empowering for Hawaiʻi today. It takes action. Awaiāulu has dedicated years to reclaiming historical knowledge but to reconnect that knowledge to people takes integrated effort ­— researchers, translators, curriculum developers and teachers can work together to put these resources into the hands of students, families, and the entire community.
Dedicated to bridging knowledge from the past to the present, Awaiāulu has assembled years of translated Hawaiian language resources, a cadre of translators and historical researchers, curriculum developers, graphic artists, and web designers—a small army of doers—to transport this material across the bridge and share it with teachers and learners everywhere. We can reintegrate Hawaiian knowledge today in ways that are easy, enjoyable and reliable. Come join us! Ma ka hana ka ʻike, by doing it there’s a lot of learning to be had.
The Bookshelf, a live webinar series designed and developed by NHSS, attempts to bridge community to UH Mānoa by showcasing Hawaiian faculty & their research and sharing their ʻike with our lāhui but this season we decided to host our community organizations & scholars! This special Community presentation with Awaiaulu will stream this Sunday, Nov. 1st at 4pm via Zoom and Facebook live. For more information and to RSVP for this webinar, click here.

3 weeds 3 seed methodical daily tasking for busy bees

Introducing Koko A’e: Life Skills for Student Wellness – a mid day workshop series, led by NHSS staff that tackles student wellness one little piece at a time.
The challenge for students to stay on top of their studies and mental health is real. In many ways, these struggles are only compounded by the pandemic.
Each week, the Koko A’e workshop will share tangible, manageable actions that students can take to regain and maintain a sense of power over their studies and lives.
Koko A’e will be held from 12-1pm in a breakout room during our daily NHSS drop-in virtual office hours. And one topic will be covered multiple times per week to accommodate class schedules. Second presentation up this week – “(UN) #FML” with Cameron Grimm and ʻIlima Long starting with the discussion: is kuleana killing us?
Check out the flyer, pick a day that works for your schedule and lock it in now. You won’t regret it. Bring a friend. The one you do everything but homework with. Join us by clicking here.
