Mamao Programs

20230131_115808-d7b2.jpg

The Mamao Program offers participants of all ages the opportunity to learn about the cultural practices of Puna, and to learn a little about the life of a Hawaiian Koa, or warrior. We encourage ohana to come and learn together, to strengthen one’s identity and connection to the ike of our kupuna. 

 

The new series of workshops begins July 2023, running once a month until June 2024 .  Each month we will feature a native plant, the traditional uses, mo’olelo (stories), planting styles, and the pilina or relationship we have with our native plants and more!  Come and learn with us through storytelling and hands-on activities!

 

This Mamao program is sponsored by KS Kaiāulu

KS Kaiāulu shares a spectrum of resources and opportunities offered by Kamehameha Schools and its community partners that embrace keiki, ʻōpio, and ʻohana along their journey of life-long learning
