The Sakamaki Lecture Series presents Paul H.I. Coleman, UH Manoa Institute for Astronomy.
This talk will highlight some of the extraordinary astronomy which is a part of Hawai`i. It will begin with the Kanaka Maoli's close relationship with kilo hoku (astronomy) and point out some of the events in our history that have led to today's connection between Hawai`i and modern astronomy.
The historical highlights will include stories of Mo`ikeha - a traditional navigator, Kamehameha Nui, James Cook and Kalakaua Ali`i.
The talk will end with a look at current plans for astronomy here in Hawai`i and the speaker's hope for the future.
