To open the summit, a panel of practitioners hailing from different backgrounds and disciplines will share their experiences of perpetuating Hawaiian Culture-Based Practices. By learning about each panelists’ pathway as a practitioner and hearing their insights, we will begin to gather generational perspectives around living with Hawaiian ancestral ‘ike as a guide.

The Summit presentations and practitioners will add their own answers to the Summit Guiding Question, helping us to see how their unique practice might be applied to our own lives. While there are a variety of Hawaiian Culture-Based Practices, we chose to highlight some that may be less widely known worldwide and some that can be universally applied.
Please note that some sessions may have opportunities for a hands-on component, while others will be shared through a talk-story delivery. Some presentations may offer follow-up sessions.
Presentations will include the following practices: Hana Noʻeau (Art); Lua (Hawaiian Martial Art); Mahiʻai (Hawaiian Farming & Planting), Moʻolelo (Oral Traditions of Hawaiʻi) and ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi (Hawaiian Language).
