  Last Monday evening the Ohana Makalii gathered at the Kahilu Theater to mahalo and celebrate with all those who made her upcoming voyage possible. When she embarks on her latest voyage in June to Mokumanamana, the northern most Hawaiian island, Makalii will be carrying provisions provided by 10 island school gardens and five community groups.
  The theater lobby was filled with participating school staff and students, community groups, community members and crew members and their families. With the call of the pu we gathered chanting “Malana Mai Kau” as we made our way into the auditorium, led by cultural practitioner Pua Case.
  The voyage is a focal point of the Hanauna Ola (To Sustain the Generations) program, funded through a 2016 Administration for Native Americans grant. The idea for the program was inspired by a question asked by Chadd Paishon eight years ago: “Can our island provision one canoe as our ancestors did?” Looking to the past and into the future, the Hanauna Ola program, whose purpose is to restore and perpetuate cultural practices that support our island community’s physical, spiritual, and psychological health and well-being, was the catalyst that energized 10 school gardens and five community groups into action.

  This visionary program has three components: canoe crew training, provisioning and cordage and hanai waa, which is the spiritual element that underpins everything. 
  The canoe crew met for regular trainings with Pwo Navigator, Shorty Bertelmann to learn the many skills involved in sailing the canoe, including non-instrument navigation, which all crew members learned. “There were 50 crew members trained, representing all the districts on this island, Kauai, Molokai and every generation from the very beginning of Makalii’s voyages,” said Lehua Ah Sam, Na Kalai Waa staff member.
  Bertelmann’s choice of Mokumanamana as a destination grew from a desire to discover the origins of the ancestors. There is evidence that Mokumanamana could be where the first Polynesians began their migratory path to Hawaii Island.
  “We want to try and take a look at Mokumanamana, to look back to our past to find out more about who we are. Aunty Pualani Kanaka’ole Kanahele will be on board. She has done research over the last 10 years to gain ancestral, cultural, scientific knowledge that we can pass on to our children,” said Bertelmann.
  The “land crew” was an essential element to the success of the program. “We went island-wide and asked: Would you be willing to be on board with this? And they all said yes and threw everything they had into it,” said program coordinator, Keala Kahuanui.
  Coordinated by Paishon and Kahuanui, the land crew worked together to grow and preserve food that will provision the 14-person rotating canoe crew for the 30-day voyage. Not only did the school gardens grow the food, but they also learned techniques for food processing and preservation such as dehydration, freeze-drying, pickling and canning.
  “We put 16 pounds of ulu (breadfruit) in the dehydrator and we came out with four pounds. For a cook on the waa, that is just amazing,” said Kahuanui.
  The results have been stunning with a variety of creative and delicious foods to sustain the crew on their voyage, a sampling of which is on display in the Kahilu Theater lobby as part of the Waimea Educational Hui’s art exhibit.
But Hanauna Ola goes beyond provisioning the canoe. “With Hanauna Ola, we can put food on the shelves and feed the kids. The schools are doing it in that sense beyond the voyage. That's the exciting thing. Young kids can create things and feed their own families with what they create,” said Paishon.
  The other focus area for the land crew is cordage which literally and metaphorically connects everything together. Crews learned about growing and processing hau, hala, niu and laʽi. “The cordage connects our moku, our waa and our kupuna (elders) islands together, but these tools, these skill sets will be applied beyond the voyage,” said Kahuanui. 
  Hanai waa, the third component of the program means to foster, sustain and connect and it is that spirit that was very much present at the gathering.  At the heart of hanai waa voices are raised in chant, a conduit to the deep spirit that connects everything and is the manner in which voices are sent out on the wind when a canoe leaves the shores.  “Chanting is huge, an integral part of everything that we do. A chant might ask permission for a canoe to begin its journey, announce the arrival of a canoe to the welcoming land base, or recite the genealogy of its creation. Hanai waa is to chant with all your heart with a complete understanding of the intention and purpose,” said Case.  
  Kahuanui calls out the names of the people who have contributed their time and efforts over the last three years to be acknowledged. The celebration is infused with joyous chanting as the crew and their family gather on the stage, voices flow, meet and connect.
  The Hanauna Ola program has glimpsed the past to move on into the future. The Polynesian voyagers accomplished the amazing feat of crossing the Pacific Ocean to discover and settle the most isolated land mass on earth through the combined efforts of the community and when they made landfall those principles enabled them to thrive.
   Now we have Makalii to teach us what we need to do for a sustainable future for generations to come. Hanauna Ola may have been a three-year program, but it has become a way of life and will continue on in our island communities.

Planet Hawai'i Crossroads / Special to North Hawaii News / 9/16

The Planet at the Crossroads was the theme for the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) conference, which took place in Honolulu from 9/1 – 9/12. Held every four years, its location in Hawaii was the first time the conference has been held in the United States.
    Makali'i 'Ohana Wa'a and the Dryland Forest Hui 'Ohana were two of the many representative groups that attended the conference from Hawaii Island, where the connection of culture and nature was highlighted.  
   The opening ceremony with dignitaries from all over the world, took place on the shore. “We started off Wednesday morning with the opening ceremonies on Kahanamoku Beach in front of the Hawaiian Hilton Village. "We wanted to ground them and give them a feel for the culture in the Pacific regions and what our traditions are. We welcomed them with traditional haka chants and we had some of our lua experts challenge them coming ashore,” says Maʽulili Dickson, Na Kalai Wa'a canoe captain and quartermaster.  
    The opening ceremony for the Pacific island nations continued at the Blaisdell Arena. “Aunty Pualani Kanahele (Kanakaole Foundation), her halau and the people of Hilo are the ones that did the traditional, cultural part of that,” says Dickson. And like a fish net being flung wide, “They started in the middle of the floor and walked out from there. Their leader [and MC] was Kamana'opono Crabbe in malo (loincloth) and kapa kihei (shawl),” adds Dickson.

    For the next day and a half Pacific Island nation groups, including the ever-growing Ohana Waa, shared their knowledge and experiences. “We had Aotearoa, Tahiti, Cook Islands, Palau, Marshal Islands and more. We were there in conjunction with the World Wide Voyage,” says Dickson.
    The mission of the World Wide Voyage is to raise awareness of the environmental challenges being faced by the entire planet and especially Pacific Islanders. “All the 'Ohana Wa'a are in unison.  The Pacific nations have to start looking at how we can better our environments. Starting at home,” says Dickson.
    The IUCN was also an opportunity for policy makers and administrators to see the results of many such efforts and possibly influence decision making and funding. Palau President, Mr. Tommy Remengesau Jr wowed the assembly with his country’s impressive environmental accomplishments, focusing on grass roots action.
    “Palau’s one of the leading Pacific nations that are actually doing something.  Reefs, recycling, energy use, they're actually doing it, rather than talking and policy making. Like our Makali'i community. You work with what you got. The more people you get involved from the community, the more resources become available,” says Dickson.

    Another group from Hawaii Island, the Dryland Forest Hui Ohana, highlights a ground up approach to conservation work. The “Hui” is an informal group comprised of: Kaloko-Honokōhau National Park; Ka'ūpūlehu Dryland Forest Preserve; Kiholo Bay Restoration Project; Mauna Kea Forest Restoration Project; Puʽuwaʽawaʽa Forest Reserve; and Waikoloa Dryforest Initiative. The group came together with the realization of how much more can be accomplished by pooling resources and gathers once a month to work on individual projects and to share knowledge and resources.  
    The “Hui”’s presentation at the IUCN was well received and attended by a wide range of people who wanted to know just how they do what they do.  “One of the things that stood out for me, is when Evan Paxton from the USGS mentioned that this is a really rare model of collaboration in his eyes. He asked us about how we collaborate and hurtles we have overcome,” says Elliott Parsons, Puʽuwaʽawaʽa Volunteer Coordinator. But to the “Hui” sharing resources and working together is foundational, a natural outcome of life in the islands.
    One attendee from Bonaire, a small island in the Caribbean, is working on reforesting Klein Bonaire, an even smaller island, where the forest has all but disappeared. This was familiar ground for the “Hui” as 95% of the dryland forest in Hawaii is gone. “With the “Hui” we can create five acres of dryland forest in one day. Maybe in a year or so we can talk about what percentage of the dryland forest there is available because of the work of the “Hui”,” says Parsons.
    The conference was an inspiration and an awareness raising experience as well. “We think we have it really bad in Hawai'i and we do have challenges, but there are many places around the world that are facing even more dire conservation struggles. It was really good to get out of our bubble,” says Parsons.  
    The relationship of culture and nature was a main theme throughout the conference, and was the focus of a session called “Standing on Sacred Ground” about the struggles of eight indigenous communities to preserve their sacred sites.
    “A film maker brought representatives from these communities to come and share their stories. One of them was from Papua New Guinea and he stood up and said, 'I've never left the bush before'. It was heart wrenching to hear of their struggles. We're not the only ones struggling with trying to conserve nature and there are various ways we can help each other,” says Parsons.
    The IUCN was like the weaving of a fish net. The lines of many people connecting and being woven together, to create a net that when flung wide, will feed and sustain the planet and its people.
