      join us this summer     

The Kekaulike Project is a collaborative initative between Native Hawaiian Student Services (NHSS) at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa as well as the University of Hawaiʻi at Maui College. This will be the second annual field school for the project, focusing on interrogating and exploring the term and concepts related to "Ea Hawaiʻi." This program helps address several goals of the Kekaulike project, including expanding culture-based and place-based for-credit and co-curricular experiential learning opportunities for Native Hawaiian students at UH Maui and UH Mānoa, in ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi as well as ʻike/lāhui Hawaiʻi content and pedagogy, through field schools on Maui, Lānaʻi, Molokaʻi and Kahoʻolawe (Maui County).
