Hawaiian Values Presenter- Karen Carroll, Kumu Lomilomi, Kapuaokalani Our world has changed greatly, the values we once treasured are only a memory. We have forgotten the ancient teachings of our kupuna. Now, more than ever, it is needed. Hawaiian Values connect all aspects of our culture, it is the common denominator and the heart connection. The time shared with our Ohana forged a strong connection that lasted a lifetime. E komo mai! Come listen to Tutu's stories that speak to the pu'uwai. You may even see the ghost of your Tutu nodding her head and saying, "At last you remembered what I taught you! It's about time!"

"Hawaiian Love"? Talking Story About Domestic Violence in Hawaiian Communities Presenter- Kalei Kanuha, Professor & Chair, University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, Department of Sociology Domestic violence, child abuse and neglect, sexual assault and family violence are unfortunately significant and sometimes lethal problems in our community. Those most vulnerable to victimization are women and girls; those most likely to cause harm to women and children are men. "Hawaiian love" is a common local description of partner violence in Native Hawaiian couples. How did we evolve from traditions of aloha and lōkahi in our relationships to "Hawaiian love"? Come talk story with your sisters to bring out the truth of family violence in our community. We will also share about Namelehuapono, the only Hawaiian cultural domestic violence program in Hawaiʻi. Confidentiality will be respected among all participants in this puʻuhonua.

Implementing Hawaiian Cultural Integration in Preschool Curriculum Presenters- Catherine Crabbe, Kaylene Kauwila Sheldon, Fraise Puali`ionalani Moore Implementing the knowledge passed down from our kupuna to our keiki. Na kumu will present a power point presentation showing a glimpse of Papa Kukui/Papa Ulu. Each class has a name and in our mala (garden) we teach the keiki what the uses of that fruit, plant, root, or tree is used for. At the end, the keiki will eventually present a ho'ike'ike of that mea kanu. We implement hands on activities such as planting and watering our mala as well as using our natural fibers to do rubbings, paintings and using kukui for transferring/practical life skills. We have developed our own Hawaiian Montessori- 3 part card activities and would like to encourage other preschools, home care, or makua to create a 3 part card activity for their own keiki.
