Our first panel brought together aloha ʻāina leaders and practitioners to share about their organizations' relationships to wai, along with the significant role it has in feeding our communities. The panel explored questions such as: How does your organization care for wai? What role does wai have in strengthening connections to historical food sources? And how can UH and the academy support these efforts?
Panelists: Keliʻi Kotubetey (Paepae o Heʻeia), Hōkūao Pellegrino (Hui O Nā Wai ʻEhā), Tiare Lawrence (Ka Malu o Kahālāwai), Kanekoa Kukea-Shultz (Kākoʻo ʻŌiwi), Stacy M Sproat (Waipā Foundation) and Hanohano Naehu (Hui o Kuapā). Moderated by Dr. Kamana Beamer.
