A message from our colleagues at Kāiwakīloumoku...

We are excited to announce our next Lāhui Rising event- Makahiki Ea: Cultural Practices restoring Sovereignty. The event will take place on Wednesday 1/14/2026 from 6:30-8:30 pm at Kaʻiwakīloumoku. 

Join us for an evening of 'ike and conversation as we explore Makahiki and its significance in restoring the Ea of Kahoʻolawe, and the impact of Kahoʻolawe Makahiki ceremonies on cultural practices in our communities today.

We are excited to be hosting three amazing Kanaka guest speakers from the Protect Kahoʻolawe ʻOhana- Kaliko Baker, Michael Nāhoʻopiʻi, and Davianna Pōmaikaʻi McGregor. This will be followed by small group kūkākūkā session to help deepen our collective understanding and discuss applicable next steps towards Ea within our families and our communities. 

Lonoikamakahiki! Lonoikamakahiki! Lonoikamakahiki!
