A brief description of the institution’s formal community partnership to advance sustainability (2nd partnership):
In the 2021-22 school year, Hawaiʻi-CC and UH-Hilo started hosting monthly huakaʻi (work day, journey) in and around Waipiʻo Valley with Pōhāhā I Ka Lani. Students, faculty, and staff from both institutions participate and mālama ʻāina (take care of the land). Activities include weeding, invasive species removal, harvesting, and planting. Hawaiʻi-CC and UH-Hilo community members contributed more than 270 hours of community service for Pōhāhā I Ka Lani in the 2021-22 school year. Hawaiʻi-CC, UH-Hilo, and Pōhāhā I Ka Lani plan to continue this partnership next school year.
Pōhāhā I Ka Lani "is a Hawaiian non-profit organization rooted in Waipiʻo Valley to revitalize and advance indigenous Kanaka Maoli cultural knowledge and land stewardship of this sacred place of our ancestors.
Our work is to embody the essence of Pōhāhā I Ka Lani, "the emergence of intelligent stewardship to perpetuate and advance Hawaiian resources", by continuing to host educational, community, and cultural groups & workshops at our various sites of Waipiʻo Valley, stewarding the ʻāina to ensure the history, ancestral knowledge, and spirit of this wahi pana are perpetuated."
