Dr. Noelani Puniwai, Associate Professor, Kamakakūokalani Center for Hawaiian Studies, UH Mānoa

Aloha ʻĀina is a phrase that one learns early on when working in Hawaiʻi's conservation field. Yet, how do we come to understand what aloha ʻāina is today, what it has meant in our past, and how it has a place in our future? Aloha ʻāina isnʻt simply “loving the land”, it's a complex idea that has shifted over time highlighting the struggles of kanaka ʻōiwi, the ʻāina we call home, and how we participate and lead conversations on Hawaiʻi's future. Aloha ʻāina, pono science, and anti-colonial research methods are all unique ways that can guide our research and shape how we see Hawaiʻi.
