CNHA’s 5th Annual Native Hawaiian Convention

September 25-29, 2006 – Hawai‘i Convention Center

 

Exchange ~ Strengthen ~ Inspire ~ Voice

 

This national Convention is the largest gathering of organizations, policy makers, legislative representatives and federal agencies in Native Hawaiian community development. Each year the convention features luncheons, banquets, keynote addresses and a variety of trainings on issues related to education, housing, economic development, land access, and self determination.  

 

Aha Kupuna & Opio- Sharing the Strength of Generations

 

Sponsored in Part By:  Friends of Hawaii Charities & CNHA’s Hawaiian Way Fund

 

Scheduled on Monday of the week of the 5th Annual Native Hawaiian Convention, this Aha is a small touchstone gathering of Kupuna and Opio that celebrates the energy and ideas of generations.  Featuring a morning session with keynote speakers and topics that identify priorities, the afternoon session is dedicated to cultural knowledge demonstrations and the talent of the Native Hawaiian Film Association.

 

The Aha Kupuna & Opio is an opportunity for the participants to bridge the age gap and “talk story” about issues that affect future generations.  The Council for Native Hawaiian Advancement invited kupuna and opio from various groups and schools to participate in what we hope will be annual gathering.  A few students had the opportunity to share their manao in what they hope to gather from the Aha that occurs on Monday, September 25th, 2006.

 

“I feel that it is my responsibility as a Hawaiian to go out and connect with our kupuna and learn all that they have to offer,” states Kekoa H. Haleamau-Martin, from UH Manoa, Center for Hawaiian Studies.

 

“As an opio, we see many issues that affect us as Hawaiians.  Recognition of a new government is a big issue within the Hawaiian community, state and federal governments. These decisions will affect us and future generations.  Like our kupuna that came before us, we would also like to get involved in what is happening,” says Kamehameha Schools student Kamakana Aquino. “Attending the Convention will help us recognize people that are helping to better the lives of the Hawaiian people.”

 

Katie Kamelamela from UH Manoa, Center for Hawaiian Studies said “This is a great opportunity to meet kupuna as well as opio from around the islands who are interested and involved in Hawaiian culture.”

 

“We (the opio) are the generation that is said to be the ones to rise-up the Hawaiian nation.  We need to know what is going on with our kupuna, and learn from them so we can continue to help our people,” says Stephanie Santiago, Kamehameha Schools student.

Na Lei Na‘auao and Kamehameha Schools combine conferences

Since 2002, two major educational organizations have convened meetings of Hawaiian indigenous educators, researchers and students. Ku‘i Ka Lono (to spread the news) has brought together hundreds of Na Lei Na‘auao —Native Hawaiian Charter School students and staff from Kauai, Oahu, and Hawaii to share best practices in indigenous education and to celebrate their incredible progress. The Kamehameha Schools Research Conference has convened numerous researchers and educators to share studies and findings in Hawaiian indigenous education, research, and well-being.

 

This year the two conferences are combining into one larger conference, Ku‘i Ka Lono. Researchers, educators and students will present research and demonstrate teaching and learning practices and knowledge for improving educational outcomes for Hawaiian students on November 15, 16 & 17, 2006.

 

Conference participants will examine topics including: What kinds of educational strategies are successful with Hawaiian learners? How can these approaches and tools be shared with classrooms and schools across the state? In what ways do educational, spiritual, health, and economic outcomes affect Hawaiian well-being?

 

A major focus of the conference will be Na Lau Lama (many lights), the newly formed statewide collaboration to improve educational outcomes for Native Hawaiian students in public schools. This initiative was launched in January 2006 and is a partnership between the Hawai‘i DOE, the Office of Hawaiian Affairs, Kamehameha Schools, the Native Hawaiian Education Council, and Na Pua No‘eau, in collaboration with many community organizations.

 

Conference Sponsors:  This year’s conference is produced by the Kamehameha Schools, Na Lei Na‘auao, the Office of Hawaiian Affairs, and the Hawaii Department of Education.
