The Kaʻū students who visited the Discovery Center to learn about Papahānaumokuākea used kilo to realize their personal connections to Hawaiʻi's environment, focusing on the ocean.
They engaged in three learning rotations to better understand the historical, cultural, and ecological significance of Pāpahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument. "They will continue to expand their kilo practice and discover more connections to the environment," said English and journalism teacher Chayanee Brooks whose students attended with the Marine Science teacher Beatriz Ramos and her students.

The shirt is designed and manufactured by artist and "conservation mission-driven company manager David Shepard," says the Friends of Midway Atoll statement. Also offered are a Laysan Albatross Colony Men's Pull-over Aloha Shirt and a Women's button down Laysan Albatross Colony Half-sleeve Aloha Shirt.
According to Friends, "Mōlī live long lives at sea, spending most of it far from land. Albatross are the kinolau (physical manifestation) of Lono, god of peace and rain. They are harbingers of the Makahiki winter rainy season. Each makahiki season, the arrival of mōlī are reminders of a season of peace, rain and growth."

In its sixty-first year, Hilo based publisher, Petroglyph Press, releases these new bilingual resources, in English and 'Olelo Hawai'i, continuing a legacy of returning scarce publications to the reading public.
Na Pule Kahiko, originally published in 1983 by June Gutmanis, remains a fundamental repository of native Hawaiian prayers. "It stands as a tribute to ancestral practices, meticulously preserved through diligent scholarship. Gutmanis, through her dedication to gathering, recording, and translating these sacred chants, enriches our collective understanding of Hawaiian history, says the Petroglyph statement.
Simultaneously, Hawaiian Proverbs and Riddles by Henry Pratt Judd, first published in 1930, "is a testament to Judd's scholarly prowess and dedication to Hawaiian language and culture. It presents a unique compilation of riddles and proverbs, offering a rare glimpse into the cultural fabric of the time by an expert and contributor to 'Olelo Hawaii textbooks," according to Petroglyph Press.
Petroglyph Press books are available at book and gift stores throughout Hawai'i. They are also available online at BasicallyBooks.com, or at Basically Books, 334 Kilauea Avenue in Hilo.
