How can we strengthen the connection between Hawaiʻi’s visitor industry, our culture, and ʻāina?

Register for a free Cultural Enrichment Training cohort to gain a deeper understanding of ʻāina stewardship and the places & communities we engage with. 🔗 Link in the bio

Kumu Cody Pueo Pata will center the class curriculum on topics such as:
- The proper pronunciation of Hawaiian words and place names
- Map orientation of the moku of Maui
- Wahi Pana

Our goal is to strengthen the connection between Hawaiʻi’s visitor industry, our culture, and our ʻāina by ensuring that those who interact directly with visitors are better equipped to share accurate and meaningful knowledge about the places they represent. 

Class Schedule (must be able to attend all class sessions): 
- First Class Session: 9:00am-12:00pm, Saturday, September 12, 2026
- Second Class Session: 9:00am-12:00pm, Saturday, September 19, 2026
- Third Class Session: 9:00am-1:00pm, Saturday, October 03, 2026 

Location: Central Maui

When disaster strikes in Hawaiʻi, our instinct is to kōkua. But we can only move as fast as we understand what's needed.

If your ʻohana was impacted by Hurricane Lala and severe storm weather, tell us. The needs assessment takes a few minutes, it's free, and there's no obligation. It's also how we learn what our communities are actually facing, which shapes where support goes and how quickly it gets there.

And if you feel called to give, your gift goes directly to families and communities impacted. Funding supports evolving recovery needs, including housing stability services, financial assistance, transportation support, disaster recovery programs, community resilience initiatives and support that moves through the local organizations and grassroots partners already mobilized in their own neighborhoods.

When disaster strikes in Hawaiʻi, our instinct is to kōkua. But we can only move as fast as we understand what's needed.

If your household was impacted by Hurricane Lala and severe storm weather, tell us. The needs assessment takes a few minutes, it's free, and there's no obligation. It's also how we learn what our communities are actually facing, which shapes where support goes and how quickly it gets there. Getting counted helps your neighbors too.

And if you feel called to give, your gift goes directly to families working through a year that started with flooding and isn't finished. Direct financial assistance, help staying housed, and support that moves through the local organizations and grassroots partners already mobilized in their own neighborhoods. People who know what's needed better than anyone arriving from outside.

Sea Life Park Hawaiʻi is now part of Hawaiian Council. Our CEO Kūhiō Lewis on the opportunity ahead.

We completed the acquisition from Herschend Family Entertainment on August 11. It is the first time in the park's 62-year history under Native Hawaiian stewardship.

The park stays open. The team stays. Memberships, passes and reservations will be honored.
Hawaiʻi's dolphins, honu, monk seals and sharks are more than remarkable animals. They appear throughout our moʻolelo, our genealogy, our navigation traditions. From here, we build a place where that story is told by the people who carry it.
