The Kamehameha Schools scholar lecture series, Huliko‘a Kaiāulu, continues on April 15. Three previous lectures are now available for viewing on YouTube.
Huliko‘a Kaiāulu gives Wai‘anae Coast ‘ohana an opportunity to embrace higher education and celebrate examples of advanced learning in their community.
The series was developed through a partnership between the Kamehameha Schools Community Learning Center at Nānākuli, MA‘O Organic Farms (Mala ‘Ai ‘Ōpio) and the University of Hawaiʻi Hawai‘inuiākea School of Hawaiian Knowledge.
This month’s presentation will take place on Tuesday, April 15, from 5:30 to 8 p.m. at the learning center. The featured speakers will be scholars Ulukoa Duhaylonsod and Konia Freitas.
Duhaylonsod will share “Indigenous Archaeology/Indigenous Anthropology” which questions the practice of using western ways along with traditional means to care for the heritage of indigenous culture, and suggests that Native Hawaiians write their own history rather than let others write it for them.
Freitas’ presentation entitled “How Does ‘Āina Teach?” will examine how ‘āina is the island society’s greatest educational equalizer and how it continues to inspire keiki and ‘ōpio to learn.
A free, simple dinner will be provided and representatives from higher education will be present to answer questions and lend assistance. To better prepare for the event, an RSVP would be greatly appreciated. Please email kapua@ksbe.edu or call 668-1517 if you plan to attend or have any questions. For more information, visit the Community Learning Center at Nānākuli website. The final lecture will take place on May 6.
