For the past year, a group of faculty from several institutions including UH Mānoa have been collaborating around shared interests in histories of Indigenous boarding and industrial schools. Such institutions took Indigenous children from their families for years at a time. In doing so, they played key and painful roles in colonization across many different contexts, including Hawaiʻi. Join us for lunch and a talk story where scholars will share about their research and reflect on their year of working together. Guests include: Maile Arvin (Kanaka Maoli, University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa) Farina King (Diné, University of Oklahoma) Caitlin Keliiaa (Yerington Paiute and Washoe, University of California, Santa Cruz) Sarah Whitt (Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, University of California, Irvine) Kēhaulani Vaughn (Kanaka Maoli, University of California, Riverside) Charles Sepulveda (Tongva and Acjachemen, University of California, Riverside) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62851ce9602a816b70b584d4/1e78e5f8-374d-4a2d-9c98-a44679d9b609/WLP_workday_Flyer_7_2025.png Blog - Restoring Relationships for Lā Hoʻihoʻi Ea Ea: life, breath, and sovereignty. Join us in uplifting the ea of Waialeʻe through mālama ʻāina and critical discussion. The ahupuaʻa of Waialeʻe is a Crown Land of Kauikeaouli, Kamehameha III, the Mōʻī who declared "Ua mau ke ea o ka ʻāina i ka pono (the sovereignty of the land endures because it is just)" upon the rightful restoration of sovereignty to the Hawaiian Kingdom following a brief British occupation in 1843. This date was thenceforth commemorated as Lā Hoʻihoʻi Ea (Sovereignty Restoration Day). Ea has been disrupted in Waialeʻe through the eradication of native species and food systems, the displacement of Kānaka ʻŌiwi communities, and also the operation of the Waialeʻe Industrial School For Boys, which opened in 1903, shortly after the illegal annexation of the Hawaiian Kingdom in 1898. The boys' school criminalized and incarcerated predominantly Kānaka ʻŌiwi youth for minor "offenses," leading to unjustified trauma and indoctrination, rather than care and healing. In an effort to uplift the ea of Waialeʻe and all those affected by the boys' school, during lunch we will learn from our Indigenous cousins' experiences with native American boarding schools and their efforts to heal from these schools' impacts. Panelists will include: Maile Arvin (Kanaka Maoli, University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa) Derek Taira (Okinawan heritage, University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa) Farina King (Diné, University of Oklahoma) Caitlin Keliiaa (Yerington Paiute and Washoe, University of California, Santa Cruz) Sarah Whitt (Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, University of California, Irvine) Kēhaulani Vaughn (Kanaka Maoli, University of California, Riverside) Charles Sepulveda (Tongva and Acjachemen, University of California, Riverside) As stewards of ʻāina, it is vital that we acknowledge, confront, and work to reconcile often uncomfortable histories which have taken place on these lands. We welcome you to join us in this journey to learn, grow, and ultimately heal from hurt that has been inflicted. E ea pū kākou a hoʻihoʻi i ke ea o Hawaiʻi! Let us all rise together to restore the life-giving breath of Hawaiʻi!

Moʻo is a particularly helpful word for describing these post-escape (and pre-new-escapes!) talk story gatherings. Given the sheer quantity and frequency of escapes, these moʻolelo-sharing events were likely repeated on a weekly basis.

From 1929-1950, the institution frequently housed over 100 girls deemed “delinquent,” often for pre-marital sexual activity or living in homes that did not conform to white American standards. Kawailoa, administrators and territorial officials hoped, could turn “delinquent” girls into “good” girls fit for the Hawaiian society the white elite envisioned. This settler-colonial process of “whitening” the predominantly non-white girls committed to Kawailoa interests me as a student interested in how race and education intersect(ed). https://naleipoinaole.com/blog/updates-from-summer-2023 monthly 0.5 2023-09-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62851ce9602a816b70b584d4/c6232ff4-aad1-46d4-bcbf-35ba761fc7b6/57F10644-6446-42F6-A772-1FA6FED1CEDA_1_105_c%5B24134155%5D.jpeg Blog - Updates from Summer 2023 - Make it stand out At Kawailoa with Secretary Haaland and Auntie Georgie https://naleipoinaole.com/blog/share-your-moolelo-about-kawailoa-koolau-waialee-or-waimano monthly 0.5 2023-01-09 https://naleipoinaole.com/blog/da77yj35y1j0vgg3idnrlnummjgnhj monthly 0.5 2023-01-09 https://naleipoinaole.com/blog/nwufzz6crapc5o53oemoruxpl2odvk monthly 0.5 2023-01-06 https://naleipoinaole.com/blog/tag/Eliana+Massey monthly 0.5 https://naleipoinaole.com/blog/tag/Kawailoa monthly 0.5 https://naleipoinaole.com/blog/tag/Callie+Avondet monthly 0.5 https://naleipoinaole.com/blog/tag/Waiale%CA%BBe monthly 0.5 https://naleipoinaole.com/home daily 1.0 2024-08-14 https://naleipoinaole.com/contact daily 0.75 2025-05-28 https://naleipoinaole.com/about daily 0.75 2024-08-14 https://naleipoinaole.com/who-we-are daily 0.75 2024-10-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62851ce9602a816b70b584d4/f9fc468c-6211-4016-9dbc-89349c46357e/maile+headshot.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62851ce9602a816b70b584d4/c702ff97-671e-4fd8-9953-c3a0f78f0951/Avis+Poai+%28web%29.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62851ce9602a816b70b584d4/28f463fa-932a-4126-824d-1694ed0b6d27/Taira+%281%29.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62851ce9602a816b70b584d4/3e287f64-9ef5-4f84-9539-6a773f659950/kinny+photo.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62851ce9602a816b70b584d4/de747f6f-aab5-4e2a-97be-3c33456b8de1/Callie+Avondet+Headshot.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62851ce9602a816b70b584d4/5c51fb46-806b-4c8d-85d9-648f53fa1dd4/Image+7-16-23+at+11.29+PM+%282%29%5B12%5D.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62851ce9602a816b70b584d4/ee6e0dca-a16e-404c-b1f2-89bb375c8fd1/headshot+.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62851ce9602a816b70b584d4/f14fd4dc-c0b6-4bc2-9323-96e9197e3771/maile+headshot.jpg Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62851ce9602a816b70b584d4/61eb9c75-73b0-4bec-b734-825e70511cab/Image+7-16-23+at+11.29+PM+%282%29%5B12%5D.png Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62851ce9602a816b70b584d4/4b8438dd-2337-458c-8dec-1d9db3c1c316/Taira+%281%29.jpg Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62851ce9602a816b70b584d4/60f84e4b-aa7b-4e1c-bd31-9884e3c8c347/kinny+photo.jpeg Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62851ce9602a816b70b584d4/b6af180b-5ff5-4f63-a4e2-551083cdb73f/Avis+Poai+%28web%29.jpg Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Team https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg Team https://naleipoinaole.com/schoolsites daily 0.75 2024-08-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62851ce9602a816b70b584d4/d5a2aafe-2edc-452b-8cb5-73e0586e5254/All+Photos+-+1+of+1.jpeg School Sites https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62851ce9602a816b70b584d4/8615270d-aec4-4be5-9d0d-63dc071bbe7c/Aerial+View+of+Waialee+%28Colorized%29.jpg School Sites https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62851ce9602a816b70b584d4/873aec69-722f-466e-a7b3-99c665e1f59e/Lauhala+Weaving+at+Kawailoa+%28Colorized%29.jpg School Sites https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62851ce9602a816b70b584d4/33cfdfa8-02f4-44a8-8054-1bd4489f7980/Screenshot+2024-08-09+at+11.59.06+AM.png School Sites https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62851ce9602a816b70b584d4/0390e913-496e-4eb7-b974-97f77a26c258/Screenshot+2024-08-09+at+12.18.03+PM.png School Sites https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62851ce9602a816b70b584d4/a4ef8590-b199-4c81-b1fc-efe41e6634c5/Screenshot+2024-08-09+at+12.20.28+PM.png School Sites https://naleipoinaole.com/media daily 0.75 2024-08-14 https://naleipoinaole.com/resources daily 0.75 2024-08-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62851ce9602a816b70b584d4/17cdcf79-7940-4f4f-9237-bf93520d21bc/IMG_0750.jpeg https://naleipoinaole.com/timeline daily 0.75 2024-08-14
