Workshop Partners:

  • The Lāna‘i Culture & Heritage Center in Lāna‘i City was established in 2007 and is a federally recognized 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization. Lāna‘i Culture & Heritage Center was organized in consultation with kūpuna (elders) and island residents as a community-based non-profit. In 2010, the center opened a climate-controlled display and archive center in the historic Dole Plantation Administration Building, where Lānaʻi CHC currently exists today.
  • Ka Ipu Makani (Kaunakakai) was incorporated in 2015, with a mission to foster an awareness of cultural and natural  resource management and heritage preservation in Hawai’i, by encouraging community stewardship, practice, preservation, and restoration of cultural and historical sites, landscapes, and materials while promoting cultural and natural richness, diversity, arts, languages, sciences, history, and traditions of Molokai. 
  • A key undertaking of Hui Iwi Kuamo‘o (Hilo) is the training of the next generation of repatriation and reburial practitioners, which is the extension of the genealogy of ‘ike (knowledge) restored to our awareness and conscience by Edward and Pualani Kanahele. This ‘ike brilliantly recognizes that while native Hawaiians did not have protocols for reburial since disturbing iwi kūpuna was traditionally considered so egregious, that it could start a war between families, we do have traditions and the responsibility to evolve our cultural practices to responsibly address contemporary problems including those caused by the theft of our ancestors, their possessions and sacred objects.
  • Hula Preservation Society in Kaneoheis committed to preserving and sharing the unique spirits, authentic voices, and historical record of our esteemed elders via digital technologies, and making that treasury available to the Hawaiian people, hula practitioners, and students around the world.
  • Ulu‘ulu: The Henry Ku‘ualoha Giugni Moving Image Archive of Hawai‘i (Honolulu) aims to perpetuate and share the rich moving image heritage of Hawai‘i through the preservation of film and videotape related to the history and culture of Native Hawaiians and the people of Hawai‘i.
