| Aloha e Len,Community members of all ages are invited to join in our 2024 Hoaʻāina Stewardship Experiences! Registration is now open for our next Hoaʻāina Stewardship Day on Saturday, June 15 at Niuliʻi, North Kohala, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
These guided, half-day learning journeys are designed to deepen our pilina (relationships) with Kohala’s natural and cultural landscape, create space for meaningful exchanges between place and people, and share in mālama ʻāina (care for the land) in this moku we call home.
Our Hoaʻāina Stewardship Days in Niuliʻi take place on ʻāina gifted to The Kohala Center in 2016. Participants will meet and get to know Ohiohikupua (lauhala) and the ulu hala (hala groves) of Niuliʻi, build foundational skills of hana lauhala (working with and caring for lauhala), and ulana lauhala (lauhala weaving) to perpetuate these traditional practices and strengthen pilina between ʻāina and kānaka.
To make this event safe for all, we are limiting space to no more than 20 participants. Details on where to meet and what to bring will be provided in the days leading up to the event. For more information, please contact Mia Akau-LaClair at makaulaclair@kohalacenter.org or 808-887-6411.
