Breakout Sessions I

Kia‘i Kanaloa–Part 1 (Ka Lama 109)
Presenters: Roxane Stewart, Billy Kinney, Dane Maxwell
Kiaʻi Kanaloa is a collective of practitioners who have been called upon to care for marine mammals (poʻe Kanaloa such as whales and dolphins), particularly in times of stranding along our shorelines. This two-part series models a community-driven initiative that aims to study our Kanaloa forms on a statewide, longitudinal scale. The first session will focus on the organic growth of this collective spanning nine years and three islands, a model that can be adopted and implemented.

‘Ōlelo No‘eau (Ka Lama 103)
Presenters: Manaiakalani Kalua, Liliana Clarke
Kānaka Hawaiʻi and Māori have been creating proverbs and axioms for generations. ʻŌlelo noʻeau and Whakatauakī are traditional tools our ancestors utilized to store environmental data, observations, events, wisdom, doctrines and ideologies. This panel will shed light on how valuable proverbs are and how modern information gathered today can be stored in the same way.

Ho‘olako (Ka Lama 104A)
Presenters: Kehau Springer, Kim Kanoeʻulalani Morishige, Kanani Frazier
This panel is made up of three wahine who work to create tools and establish practices that advance the integration of kaulana mahina and kilo into the lives of communities throughout Hawaiʻi. Co-developed with communities and designed to provision based on their needs, the tools range from moon phase planners/journals, to tablet based cloud applications, and discussion methodologies.

App Development (Ka Lama 107)
Presenters: Ryan Gonzalez, Kehau Abad
Kanaeokana seeks to strengthen the lāhui and nurture the next generations of aloha ‘āina leaders by collaboratively developing and growing a Native Hawaiian education system built on a strong ʻōlelo Hawai‘i and ʻike Hawai‘i foundation. Members of the panel will be creating an app that combines the practices of kilo and kaulana mahina for the everyday user. This panel seeks to engage participants through Q&A and discussion. Participants will be contributing ideas that will assist in the development of a future environmental app. Be prepared to answer, What kind of app will work for you? And, What kind of features would like to see on the app?

Lani, Honua, Moana, Kānaka (Ka‘a ‘Ike 105A-B-C-D)
Presenters: Rereata Makiha, Hiʻilani Shibata, Kainoa Horcajo
From the Māori and Hawaiian perspectives, let us learn how Te Rangi (the atmosphere), Te Whenua (earth), Te Moana (ocean) and Te Tangata (people and living creatures) are all connected. How can the maramataka/kaulana mahina be used for healing, safety and wellness? Learn how our ancestors connected themselves to the environment by understanding Nga tohu o te rangi (Indicators in the sky), Nga tohu o te whenua (Indicators on the land), Nga tohu o te moana(Indicators at sea), and Nga tohu o te tangata (human behavior).

Breakout Sessions II

Kia‘i Kanaloa–Part 2 (Ka Lama 109)
Presenters: Roxane Stewart, Billy Kinney, Dane Maxwell
In the second session we will share our initial findings related to Kanaloa strandings and life cycles of other Kanaloa forms. Participants are asked to bring their knowledge of wahi pana of their island that will be used to model data analysis using Kaulana Mahina. Participants are also asked to come with ideas of what Kanaloa form(s) they would be interested in studying at home (i.e., pelagic fish, sea level, etc.) These ideas will be the foundation of a kilo plan that will be developed through this session.

Mahi ‘Ai (Ka Lama 103)
Presenters: Koa Hewahewa, Hōkūao Pelegrino, Kui Gapero
From the restoration of an island bombed for over 50 years, to the restoration of a forest made desolate by ranching and sugar plantation, to the restoration of a family farm and community, the kaulana mahina guided each of these practitioners with their mahiʻai techniques.

Resource Management (Ka Lama 104A)
Presenters: Pōmaikaʻi Kaniaupio-Crozier, Keahi Bustamente, Joylynn Paman
This panel will be discussing how they manage their resources with a Hawaiian frame of mind. Join three of Maui’s resource managers as they give their perspectives of how their work in managing natural resources has been centered around the Hawaiian culture, practices and traditions.

App Development (Ka Lama 107)
Presenters: Ryan Gonzalez, Kehau Abad
Kanaeokana seeks to strengthen the lāhui and nurture the next generations of aloha ‘āina leaders by collaboratively developing and growing a Native Hawaiian education system built on a strong ʻōlelo Hawai‘i and ʻike Hawai‘i foundation. Members of the panel will be creating an app that combines the practices of kilo and kaulana mahina for the everyday user. This panel seeks to engage participants through Q&A and discussion. Participants will be contributing ideas that will assist in the development of a future environmental app. Be prepared to answer, What kind of app will work for you? And, What kind of features would like to see on the app?

Pilina Kai (Ka Lama 104B)
Presenters: Mac Poepoe, Liam Kernell
Pono fishing practices includes understanding the ocean seasons, the weather patterns, spawning cycles and migrational patterns of the marine creatures. By referencing traditional ecological knowledge and the kaulana mahina, come listen to how these two projects were able to make an impact on policies and procedures to ensure that the ocean will be well-stocked for generations to come.

Education (Ka‘a ‘Ike 105A-B-C-D)
Presenters: Kalaunuola Domingo, Pauline Harris, Kaliko Goo
Hear three distinctly different perspectives from three kumu about how the kaulana mahina/maramataka is being integrated into kindergarten, fourth grade, university and community programs to create meaningful curriculum that builds strong foundations in self-identity and sense of place.
