Kamehameha Schools

The Intersection of Research, Practice, and Hawaiian Culture

What do we know about the strengths and intellectual lineage of känaka maoli (Native Hawaiians)? More than two hundred participants answered this question at PASE’s second annual research conference on Hawaiian well-being.

The Policy Analysis & System Evaluation (PASE) department of Kamehameha Schools organized the conference, which was held on Oct. 28-30, 2004 at the KS Hawai‘i Campus. The purpose of the gathering was to gain a better understanding of Hawaiian well-being by bringing together multiple viewpoints from diverse disciplines. The event attracted a broad cross-section of researchers, educators, and cultural practitioners from the fields of education, health, family, economics, leadership, environmental studies, cultural practices, politics, and spirituality.
