Kuleana & Community Talk Story
Know Your Mauli: Knowing Who You Are and Where You Come From

Join our Kuleana and Community Talk Story with Dr. Lehua Veincent!

Kumu Lehua Veincent is a Kanaka educator for nearly 40 years in Hawaiian Language Immersion, Charter Schools, public, private, and university education.

By fostering such an understanding of cultural identity and cultural self-awareness as tied to their own experiences of genealogy, history, traditional practices, language, and place, a foundation of learning can be established that is directly linked to ‘ike kupuna (ancestral intelligence). This uniqueness in teaching and learning is the “heartbeat” and “spirit” of knowledge; this is “Mauli.”
