Papahana Puakahīnano Educational Engagement
Hui Hoʻoleimaluō is an organization focusing on loko iʻa (Hawaiian fishpond) restoration in the ahupuaʻa of Waiākea on the South East Island of Hawaii. Our work includes restoring native flora and fauna of the area, increasing cultural resources, and creating STEAM experiences that allow participants to build the skills needed to further pursue local STEAM studies.
Intercession Series
During our Fall, Spring and Summer breaks, Papahana Puakahīnano offers a selective programming opportunity focusing on ʻOihana Kūpuna or Ancestral Practices such as Loko iʻa, Mahiʻai, Hana Imu, and Holowaʻa just to name a few
After - School Series
Monday to Thursday afternoons have been some of our most recent favorite times to learn about our wahipana o Hilo thru our different classes like Papa Hula with Aunty Iwa, Papa Ukulele with Kumu Kaimana, or Papa Aloha ʻĀina with Kumu Shari.
Stay tuned for After-School Programming registration for the upcoming 2025-2026 School Year
Internship Opportunities
Our most recent endeavor is providing Internship opportunities for Highschool and college level haumāna looking for ʻāina based experiences to build and strengthen career portfolios in the Mālama ʻĀina workforce
