Papa 4 Collaborative Hae Hawaiʻi
On Wednesdays through the month of November, Kumu Cramer, Ceislak and Kahue's classes learned about the moʻolelo of our Hae Hawaiʻi. Then, each haumāna created individual pieces representing their connection and understanding of the symbols about the hae Hawaiʻi. Pieces were assigned, "predominatly red, white, or blue" -- and then assembled as the stripes in this hae NUI! It hung off the bridge on Nov. 27 when our campus celebrated Lā Kūʻokoʻa.
