Presenters: Kaiʻulani Odom and Puni Jackson from Kōkua Kalihi Valley.

Traditions of the Pacific presents, "Hawaiian Perspectives of Health: From Birth to Death". An educational series in partnership with the Department of Native Hawaiian Health's Native Hawaiian Center of Excellence at the John A. Burns School of Medicine, University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa.

The progression from pre-gestation to birth encompasses an array of physical and metaphysical responsibilities to ensure a pathway of health for child, mother and family. Knowledgeable Native Hawaiian cultural and clinical practitioners will provide insightful perspectives about traditional approaches to pregnancy and child birth and how families can be empowered to incorporate cultural practices into the birthing experience. At Kōkua Kalihi Valley, Kaʻiulani Odom is a registered dietician and Director of the Roots Program and Puni Jackson, Hoʻoulu ʻĀina Community Educator. Both presenters have extensively researched diverse traditional Native Hawaiian health practices and conduct a maternal and child health class entitled Birthing a Nation. They use the term “pale wahine” to describe their role with mothers and families-to-be.
