This is an 'Aina Based Program meant to focus on the mea ko'iko'i/ waiwai to Halelea and particularly Ha'ena. Students would learn fishing practices specific to Halele'a/ Ha'ena (such as he'e using stick, 'ai wana, 'akule), plants specific to Halele'a/ Ha'ena (such as Laua'e and papala), Limu and how to gather based on Halele'a/ Ha'ena gathering practices, hana lo'i kalo (our kalo traditions in Halele'a/ Ha'ena), and hula and oli specific to our hula practitioners like 'Ilalaole and Wahine Keauoli Pa.
