Ka Hana - Our Work

MOʻOKŪʻAUHAU 

 

CONNECTING THROUGH GENEALOGY

We seek to connect ʻohana together through genealogical lines

MOʻOLELO 

 

KEEPING STORIES ALIVE

Through moʻolelo, we seek to carry on the stories of our kūpuna.  We gather nā moʻolelo in written, audio, or visual forms to ensure future generations have access to ʻike (knowledge)

ʻIMI ʻIKE 

 

SEEKING KNOWLEDGE

We believe that education is key to the success of our people.  We also believe in the ʻōlelo noʻeau: ʻAʻohe pau ka ʻike i ka hālau hoʻokahi.  Not all knowledge is learned in one school.  Join us in learning the traditional practices of our kūpuna

MĀLAMA WAHI PANA 

 

PLACE BASED STEWARDSHIP

Ka ʻOhana Kuamoʻo are the curators and stewards of Kukuipahu Heiau in North Kohala on Hawaiʻi Island. 

 

Ka ʻOhana Keliʻipio were the caretakers of Mokuola/Coconut Island in Hilo Bay for 51 year from 1909 to 1960

"Na wai hoʻi ka ʻole a ke akamai, he ala nui i maʻa
i ka hele ʻia e oʻu mau mākua?"

ʻŌlelo Noʻeau #2301

 Why shouldn't I know, when it is a road traveled often by my parents?
