HUI HO’OLEIMALUO
The Papahana Puakahīnano Student Program is a series of opportunities facilitated by cultural experts of the community to build ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi (Hawaiian language), and cultural practitioners through ʻāina (land), wahi pana (significant places/sites), and ʻike Hawaiʻi (Hawaiian knowledge) hands-on experiences for students from East Hawaiʻi Hawaiian language and culture based schools in grades K-12.
The ultimate goal of this initiative is to cultivate the next generation of environmental and community stewards.
