KU`ULEI KEAKEALANI

Educator, cultural practitioner, poet, storyteller, activist, and our Cultural Director at Hui Aloha Kīholo, Ku`ulei wears many hats, but wears them all with a strong sense of the history of her ancestors and the responsibility we have to perpetuate Hawaiian culture for future generations.

REBECCA MOST

We are so pleased to be joined by our good friend and partner in caring for Kīholo, Rebecca Most. Rebecca is the Hawai`i Island Marine Program Manager for The Nature Conservancy, and she blends a strong marine science background with a sensitivity to the lessons of place, to help care for Ka Loko o Kīholo, the marvelous fishpond of Kīholo, and beyond. Rebecca and her team conduct research, enlist the knowledge of local kupuna, and organize community workdays to restore the fishpond.

Kuʻulei and Rebecca will talk about what the intersection of traditional fisher knowledge (passed down through three generations), and current biological monitoring efforts, tell us about sustainable fishing at Kīholo.

PONO PRACTICES

Pono (righteousness) guides Huiʻs interactions with the natural and cultural landscape of Kīholo. Through talking with kamaʻāina (locals), fisher people, our own kilo (observations), and researchers, we put forth these guidelines to help all of us walk forward with pono. We invite you to join us in this collaboration with place.
