Malama Waipio will Educate You!

EMBRACE the MANA of MALAMA WAIPIO 

“The Valley of the Kings” and the many other sacred values, which needs to be managed and maintained. ʻAina Ka po‘e, the people, of the Land themselves are embraced by the Mana of Waipi’o and over the generations of being embraced, we have become kin to the spirit of this valley. Out of this sense of kinship and well-being grows the Aloha (love) and a sense of Malama Kupuna ‘Aina, caring for our Ancestral Land, protecting the integrity of Waipi‘o Valley by perpetuating the ability to flow and flourish, and continue to touch the lives of so many more to come. This is the true Spirit of our Kupuna in Waipio Valley”.

In our Hawaiian culture, the vast knowledge held by Kupuna "Elders" is greatly valued. 

The foundation of this curriculum is based on ideas shared by members of our three Hui Ohana.

Our Hui Ohana, or focus groups were comprised of Kupuna, Hawaiian cultural resource experts, parents, teachers and our personnel. Through a collaborative process the three Hui meets for several weeks and months throughout the year by sharing their mana‘o (insights) to ensure the content reflected Native Hawaiian cultural values, knowledge and teaching methods.
