💥 What’s the Big Deal:
At the annual WINHEC conference, more than 100 Indigenous educators gathered to exchange traditional knowledge and environmental practices♻️. Hosted by the University of Hawaiʻi, the event emphasized ʻāina-based learning, with participants engaging hands-on in Hawaiian cultural practices, including kalo cultivation and imu cooking 🏝️. This approach connects students to ancestral knowledge, promoting environmental awareness and community resilience. By incorporating ʻāina-based education, Pacific Island communities can preserve cultural heritage, foster sustainable practices, and inspire environmental stewardship among future generations 🌍.
