We will be going on a learning opportunity trip to Mokauea island located at the kai area of kapālama ahupuaʻa. Traditionally this placed housed the master navigators and fishermen of our people. There I hope to learn about the things that reside there, such as the animals, life, plants, and invasives. Another aspect that I really want to learn about is the ancient moʻolelo or stories of the place along with the history. One major aspect that I hope to experience on this learning trip is to feel the mana and hurt that is here at the place. This wahi pana has experienced great negative change and so it will be interesting to feel this change in my heart and through my eyes, using all of my senses to understand the responsibility that I now have to care for this place.
