Moʻolelo Mai: Connections, Moananuiākea

11 a.m. + 1 p.m.
Location: Gallery Lawn, Outside Hawaiian Hall
Free with Museum Admission

Moananuiākea is the remembrance, the genealogy, the movement of time, and the passage from understanding into knowing. Over the last 48 years, canoes of all shapes, sizes, and functions have been birthed, and leaders have emerged as ancestral connections and voyaging memories are seamed together by the membrane of the ocean that passes under the hulls of canoe. The islands are pulled up, and the destination lies before us. Join the family as we Moʻolelo Mai Moananuiākea, and share our connections with Moananuiākea and how our experiences influence our lives today. These oral history talk-story sessions with special guests will be moderated by Pomai Bertelmann and Mahina Paishon-Duarte. Guest speakers to be announced!
