Historic Hawai‘i Foundation, in partnership with the Department of the Interior’s National Park Service, will offer a free webinar on integrating indigenous knowledge into planning and management strategies for historic properties and other cultural resources.
The webinar provides training to members of the public, private, nonprofit or government sectors who own, manage, steward or are interested in preserving historic cultural and built sites.
The webinar presents an introduction to approaches for integrating indigenous knowledge into planning and management strategies for historic properties and other cultural resources associated with traditions, cultural practices and other areas of significance for Native Hawaiians. These concepts will be explored through three recent case studies showcasing co-stewardship models and perpetuating traditional knowledge across generations for stewardship and preservation outcomes:
- Ulupo Heiau State Historic Site in Kailua, O‘ahu
- Waikalua Loko I‘a in Kane‘ohe, O‘ahu
- Kahalu‘u Kuahewa, a segment of the Kona Field System, Kahalu‘u, Hawai‘i Island
The program will conclude with a panel discussion exploring project impacts, challenges, process and lessons learned. Participants are encouraged to submit questions.
