The over all outcome of this program and curriculum is to give students first hand experiences with our place based practices in hopes that we will create and inspiure the next generation of practiitioners. We hope that our keiki will leave this program knowing what their community is known for and what historically their community was known for. We hope that our learners will gain pilina with the resources famous to our place, and can know it well enough to become a pracitioner. We know, that pride for a place, is to instill pride in oneself. We hope that this program will instill confidence and pride in Haleleʻa and Haʻena (their home).
