Native Hawaiian curricula is now on-line

 

The Native Hawaiian Education Council, the entity responsible for coordinating federal funding for Native Hawaiian education programs, announced a new on-line curricula collection on Ulukau.org as a resource for teachers and students in Hawaii and elsewhere.   The first curriculum in the collection is titled, “Kähea Loko, Call of the Fishpond,” a 4th -12th grade natural science and culture curriculum,  produced by the Pacific American Foundation in partnership with the Hawaii Department of Education.  The fishpond curriculum consists of materials a teacher will need including a teachers guide, lesson plans, and an introductory video.  Sections of the curriculum are translated into Hawaiian.  Topics in the curriculum are searchable using a digital search engine.

 

 “Sharing this information over the internet with Hawaiians and non-Hawaiians alike will enable everyone to benefit from the collective wisdom of the Hawaiian people,” said Hamilton McCubbin, President of the Pacific American Foundation. “It is also a modern day example of the rigorous scientific methods used by Hawaiians to refine their stewardship over these complex ecosystems so essential to their survival and sustainability, something which is even more relevant today given our increasing impact on the natural resources of this planet we know as Earth,” said McCubbin. 

 

“The on-line curricula is the result of a three way partnership between the Native Hawaiian Education Council, the Pacific American Foundation, and Ulukau.org, and is intended to preserve and expand the reach of our Hawaiian ways of knowing, teaching, and learning, ” said Colin Kippen, executive director of the Native Hawaiian Education Council.

 

Ulukau.org, now in its second year, has logged over 5 million user hits per year since its creation and continues to grow. The indigenous language website is a joint project of Hale Kuamo`o, College of Hawaiian Language at the University of Hawai`i at Hilo, Alu Like, Inc., and many other organizations and individuals in the Native Hawaiian education community.
