Remembering the Mo'o:
A Weekly Journey
In Hawaiian culture, moʻokūʻauhau (genealogy) is far more than a list of names or a static family tree. The word itself holds profound meaning: moʻo (a succession, a story, or a lizard whose spine represents connected segments) and kūʻauhau (to recite lineage).
It represents a living bridge connecting the past, present, and future—anchoring your identity and defining your kuleana (responsibility) to your community and the land.

E Kama'ilio Hawai'i Kākou
Thursdays, 6:00pm - 7:00pm
This 8-week gathering is designed specifically for our kūpuna (elders) to reclaim, practice, and celebrate ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi (the Hawaiian language). For many years, our people were systematically prevented from speaking our native tongue due to historical bans. Today, we gather with pride to speak a language that is legally recognized as an official language of our state.
Register Below:
We will move at a gentle pace, focus heavily on speaking and listening, laugh off mistakes, and honor our ancestors with every word we share.
