Moamahi Project Grant
Hilo’s Ka Haka 'Ula O Ke'elikolani College of Hawaiian Language received a $100,000 grant from the Office of Hawaiian Affairs. The Moamahi project grant will assist in the production of the revised edition of the Na Honua Mauli Ola Hawai'i Guidelines for Culturally Healthy and Responsive Learning Environments and its teacher preparation program Kahuawaiola.
The one-year Moamahi project will revise and publish edition two of Na Honua Mauli Ola Hawai'i Guidelines, which will contain a new toolkit section for students, educators, schools and institutions, community and families.
“More than 10,000 copies of the original book have been disseminated and are now being used by schools and programs across the state, nationally and internationally,” says Keiki Kawai'ae'a, programs director of the Hale Kuamo'o Hawaiian Language Center. “In response to numerous requests, the revised edition will include a section on the cultural pathways, strategies and rubrics."
