If you are visiting this page you are likely a UH Mānoa student, staff, faculty, or executive who wants to more clearly align your initiative, program, event, budget, new hire, and/or future plans with our institutional goal of becoming a Native Hawaiian Place of Learning. Mahalo for diving into this work! Our office is humbled to have the kuleana to provide you with tools and resources to support your steps towards this important goal. A few points:
- This work takes time, energy, and resources. So please be kind to yourself and your teams and plan accordingly.
- This work cannot be done alone. We encourage you to create a hui (group) and to utilize the guidelines shared below to ensure that you cultivate a hui that is grounded in aloha.
- This work is a process. While our goal is to provide you with many tools via our website, we know that not everything you need to create a Native Hawaiian place of learning within your particular area can be learned online. Our office is committed to supporting you with other in-person experiences as our resources and capacity grow.
We suggest you engage in the following steps in the order provided below.
