I Mana Ka ʻŌlelo–Language Sovereignty

ʻAha Pūnana Leo

This initiative has been created in conjunction with leaders of indigenous language communities in Hawai’i and Aotearoa (New Zealand).

The proposal consists of a cultural visit to New Zealand, to reconnect with elders and visionaries and to generate joint visions to establish priorities to ensure the continuity of Hawaiian language revitalization processes for the next 40 years.

The findings and achievements will be shared with the current frontline language nest teachers across the 13 Pūnana Leo sites in Hawaii during the Pūnana Leo system wide Mauli development training.
In addition, to identifying shared traditional knowledge and practices linked to Polynesian culture.
