This trailer introduces OluKai’s new video series, The Voyage of Mānaiakalani. The goal of this series is to help people learn, understand, and connect to Hawaiʻi on a deeper level through voyaging on the canoe, Mānaiakalani – teaching the importance of place. These learning adventures are led by Mānaiakalani’s kāpena, Archie Kalepa – one of Hawaiʻi’s ocean sports pioneers and globally accomplished waterman.
Each episode will feature a local cultural/historical expert who teaches about place, cultural practice, resources, and history. These stories share connections between mauka+makai, people+ʻāina, and how ancestral knowledge guides us today towards a better future.
