As you embark on your next level of nest building, you will gather the twigs and branches of knowledge that encompass identity. These integral Hawai’i lifeways help you build both the framework for your nest of native knowledge and your cultural competence. In Papa La’a Lā’au you continue to develop your oli technique, and we continue to discuss loina and how to apply and navigate these Hawaiian values in the face of colonization, western value systems, and other challenges faced by those caught up in the diaspora. In addition, you are introduced to new Hawai’i lifeways including ka’ao (epic storytelling and legends); ho’oma’a kino (body movement, hula steps); and mo’okū’auhau (genealogy). By helping learners to know themselves more intimately and historically, we can help learners connect to native intelligence and begin to place themselves within the greater cosmology.
