Description

Session 4: For students entering grades 6-8 Haumana will be immersed in the moʻolelo and daily practices of our ancestors through hands-on experiences rooted in the native and Polynesian introduced plants that flourish within the ʻili ʻāina of Waipao. Keiki will learn and grow together to build a basic foundation of culture, moʻolelo, language, and practices through the exploration of ʻāina, environment and the natural elements that surround us. Haumana will kōkua in native plant restoration in upland and stream bank areas. They will also learn about traditional and modern food preparation styles. Recipes and take-home food bundles (paʻi ʻai) will be assembled by haumana and cooked at home with their ʻohana. In session 4 (gr. 6-8), participants will participate in a huaka’i where we will walk in the footsteps of our ancestors and visit historical sites that carry the moʻolelo of our aliʻi. Location: Waipao, Heʻeia, Oʻahu
