Program areas at Edith Kanaka'ole Foundation

The kipa project collaborates place-based communities, the county of Hawaii, and the decades of Hawaiian landscape research done by the Edith Kanaka'ole Foundation. This initiative trains tour operators to become more conscious of cultural landscapes and to understand their connection to the natural environment, using traditional cultural knowledge as our perspective and guide, resulting in certification.
The ka huaka'i hele o na lani project demonstrates the process of passing 'ike (knowledge) practiced by our ancestors from generation to generation. Loea kumu hula nalani kanakaole will teach a final chapter to selected alakai who have been chosen to lead the halau o kekuhi into the future
The kukulu ka pahukapa project utilizes the honuaiakea process, which utilizes the gift of mele kupuna to establish kapu (sacred resources) and kanawai (rules to maintain the sacred resources) of a place with an invested community. The project works with communities that steward heavily visited areas to develop kapu and kanawai and clarify the tolerable boundaries and approaches that will be shared with agencies, visitor industry services, and state and county governments.d childcare market instability due to covid-19.
