My Project

These books will allow my students to learn more about the Native Hawaiian language, culture, myths, and stories. Wai'anae High School is located in one of the most densely populated areas in Oahu for Indigenous people to Hawai'i.

I believe that we can help students be more interested in learning when it is pertinent to their own Indigenous culture in Hawai'i.

Not only will they learn English skills, but they will also learn more about what makes them, them. This kind of connection to the curriculum can help students be more motivated to learn and culturally responsible.
