Aloha! ʻO wau o Noelani Puniwai. I am passionate about cultivating the next generation of students to mālama ʻāina. Feeling aloha ‘āina, he alo a he alo, face to face must be practiced. My research interests include ancestral Hawaiian knowledge, coastal ecosystems, cultural geography, anticolonial methodology, and seascapes. I believe that we can use the rigor and methodologies of pono science, the foundational wisdom of our kūpuna, and our experiential daily practice of aloha ‘āina to awaken responsible action for the future of our Hawai’i.
