HOOULU PONO TO GROW, SPROUT, PROPAGATE TO INCREASE, TO INSPIRE, TO EXCITE. FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL.THE OVERALL PURPOSE AND MISSION OF PROJECT HOOULU PONO, IS TO LEVERAGE THE KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE GAINED OVER THE LAST 30 YEARS UTILIZING BIOCULTURAL RESTORATION PRACTICES TO ADDRESS THE CHALLENGES OF CLIMATE CHANGE WHILE ALSO MEETING THE NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY TO FEED ITSELF. BRIDGING INDIGENOUS WISDOM AND PRACTICE IN THE CONTEXT OF AN ANCIENT HAWAIIAN LOKO IA WITH MODERN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT TO ADDRESS THE CHALLENGES OF CLIMATE CHANGE FOR US. I KA WA MAMUA, I KA WA MAHOPE, LOOKING TO THE PAST TO HELP CHART OUR WAY FORWARD IS THE LELO NOEAU THAT MOST RESONATES WITH OUR WORK IN THIS PROJECT.FURTHERMORE, WE DO THIS WORK WITH TWO THOUGHTS THAT WE HAVE GAINED OVER THE PAST 30 YEARS FIRST, TO CREATE MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR A GENERATIONAL APPROACH IN WHICH OPIO, MAKUA, AND KUPUNA COME TO LEARN TOGETHER AND SHARE KNOWLEDGE FOR THE BENEFIT OF FUTURE GENERATIONS INFORMED BY THE PAST AND SECOND, IGNITE AWARENESS AND USE OF ONES GIFTS AND TALENTS TO CONTRIBUTE AND ADOPT A PRODUCER VERSUS A HEAVILY WEIGHTED CONSUMER MINDSET, IN AN ISLAND COMMUNITY WITH LIMITED RESOURCES.

THIS PROJECT WILL BUILD UPON A PREVIOUS COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT AWARDED TO THE PACIFIC AMERICAN FOUNDATION (PAF) TO WORK WITH THE COMMUNITY TO BROADEN

THE PACIFIC AMERICAN FOUNDATION WILL DEVELOP A COMPREHENSIVE SEARCHABLE DATABASE FOCUSED ON FEDERAL EFFORTS TO COLONIZE FIVE REMOTE ISLANDS IN THE PACIFIC LEADING UP TO WORLD WAR II (1935?1942). THE PROJECT WILL HIGHLIGHT THE CONTRIBUTIONS AND SACRIFICES MADE BY NATIVE HAWAIIAN COLONISTS, KNOWN COLLECTIVELY AS HUI PANALA'AU. THE HUI PANALA'AU DIGITAL COLLECTION WILL PROVIDE ACCESS TO PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SOURCE DOCUMENTS, FILM FOOTAGE, ORAL HISTORY RECORDINGS, AND PHOTOGRAPHS HOUSED AT SEVEN PUBLIC AND PRIVATE REPOSITORIES IN HONOLULU AND THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES. THE GOAL IS TO CONNECT NATIVE HAWAIIAN YOUTH, FAMILIES, COMMUNITIES, STUDENTS, AND RESEARCHERS TO A RANGE OF RESOURCES DOCUMENTING THE HUI PANALA'AU STORY.

THE WISDOM OF THE WATERSHED PHASE II WILL INCREASE ENGAGEMENT OF HAWAII'S YOUTH IN EARTH AND OCEAN SCIENCES AND STEWARDSHIP EXPERIENCES. BY ENGAGING STUDENTS IN THE RESEARCH PROCESS AND BRIDGING OUT-OF-SCHOOL ACTIVITIES TO CLASSROOM LESSONS, STUDENTS WILL BE BETTER PREPARED FOR STUDIES IN SECONDARY AND POST-SECONDARY SCIENCE, AND CAREERS IN THE NATURAL SCIENCES. THIS PROGRAM CREATES AND LEVERAGES ESTABLISHED SUSTAINABLE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN TEACHERS AND RESEARCHERS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII, PUBLIC AGENCIES, AND PRIVATE BUSINESSES. BY GUIDING STUDENT AND TEACHER PARTICIPATION IN ACTIVITIES THAT SUPPORT LEADING-EDGE RESEARCH QUESTIONS CONCERNING LOCAL COMMUNITIES, STUDENTS WILL BECOME COMMUNITY-READY TO ASSIST LOCAL CIVIC AND SCIENTIFIC ACTION. PROJECT STAFF WILL ASSIST TEACHERS TO TAILOR CURRICULUM, PROVIDE CLASSROOM SUPPORT, AND GUIDE FIELD EXPEDITIONS TO ADDRESS EACH RESEARCH QUESTION IN DETAIL. EXPEDITIONS WILL USE CULTURAL, PLACE-BASED RESEARCH PROJECTS TO CREATE MEANING
