ʻO ka Hulihia, he hanana ia e hoʻohuli ana i ka nohona maʻamau, a he hanana nō hoʻi ia e hoʻoulu ana i ke ola hou. No laila, paipai kēia manaʻo, ʻo ka hulihia, i ka ulu ʻana aʻe ma nā wahi a pau. ʻO ko kākou kuleana ka ʻimi a hoʻomaopopo ʻana i nā mākau, naʻauao, a ʻike e kōkua mai ana i ke ō mau o ko kākou ʻāina, a aia akula ia haʻina i nā kīpuka e hoʻōla aʻe nei i ka ʻike ʻōiwi o kēia ʻāina.

Hulihia are the events that disrupt or overturn the status-quo and bring new potential for life. In this way, hulihia embraces the idea that opportunities for growth will occur within their spaces. Our kuleana is to find and recognize the strengths, knowledge and experiences that uniquely provide for the sustainability of our place, and for this we turn to our kipuka that restores the native knowledge of the land. Kipuka supports a process of reforestation that builds the capacity for sustainable ecosystems to nourish diverse literacies and various schools of knowledge, allowing individuals to make unique contributions to the resilience and sustainability of their communities.
Mai ka hulihia o ka maʻi ahulau a hiki i kēia au hou, he wahi kono kēia na ka ʻOihana Hoʻonaʻauao O Hawaiʻi i nā kānaka o ke kaiāulu e kaʻana mai i ko lākou mau moʻolelo. He wahi kono hoʻi kēia e hoʻouna mai i nā noi haʻiʻōlelo e hoʻonoho ai, e hoʻokino ai, a e hoʻomana ai hoʻi i ka māhuahua o ka ʻōnaehana hoʻonaʻauao me ka ʻike e hānai ʻia mai nei e nā kīpuka o ke kaiāulu a me ka ʻāina.
Coming out of the hulihia of the pandemic and into a new space of potential, the Hawaiʻi Department of Education invites our stakeholders and communities to share their stories. We invite proposals that will articulate, elevate and activate new growth to reforest our education systems with knowledge fed to us by the kipuka of our communities and ʻāina. The following value, core priorities, and strands guide this work to its center.

Collective Abundance |
ʻO ka hoʻohanohano ʻana i ka laupaʻi o ke kaiāulu ke ala e hoʻoulu pū mai ai i nā pōmaikaʻi e ola mau ai nā kaiaola.
Honoring the abundance of our communities allows for an assembly of gifts and leads to a sustained, thriving ecosystem. |

Interconnecting perspectives guided by ancestral ways of knowing and being in Hawaiʻi help to shape our worldview and navigate our world. |
Aloha ʻĀina
Aloha ʻĀina |
He aliʻi ka ʻāina, he kauwā ke kanaka. Aʻo mai ke aloha ʻāina i ka lawena o ke ola ʻana e mau ai ka nohona ʻaeʻoia me ka pānaʻi like o ia nohona.
He ali‘i ka ‘āina, he kauwā ke kanaka – the land is chief, people are its stewards. Aloha ‘āina teaches behaviors and lifestyles that lead to reciprocal and sustainable abundance. |
Kaiāulu Paʻa Mau
Community Resilience & Sustainability |
E hana no ka pono o ka nui. ʻO ka mālama pilina ke ala e hoʻokō ai ke kaiāulu i nā pahuhopu nui a me nā pahuhopu iki no ka hoʻoikaika pū ʻana i ke kaiāulu holoʻokoʻa. Ma o ke kālele ʻana ma ke aukahi ʻana o nā kānaka a pau no ka pono a me ka ʻaeʻoia, e māhuahua aʻe ana ka hiki i ke kaiāulu ke hoʻomau a hoʻoikaika pū i ko lākou nohona o kēia wā.
Community Resilience & Sustainability - E hana no ka pono o ka nui. Nurturing relationships and interconnectedness allows our communities to navigate short, medium and long term goals with intention to strengthen the whole. As roles and responsibilities evolve beyond individual growth towards collective resilience and sustainability, communities increase their capacity to maintain or change the conditions of their contemporary circumstances. |
