This week, Manu and Mehana are joined by Kēhaunani Abad, Director of Kealaiwikuamoʻo in Kamehameha Schools' Community Education Division. Kēhau leads a team that supports collaboration among Kanaeokana, a paeʻāina-wide network of some 80 schools and Hawaiian organizations focused on strengthening the lāhui and growing aloha ʻāina leaders through collaboration as a Hawaiian education system. Kanaeokana has been instrumental in amplifying important Native Hawaiian issues and events, including the upcoming Lā Kūʻokoʻa holiday. Together, they discuss the origin of this kingdom holiday - what it meant to Native Hawaiians in the past, and what it means to us today.
