Description

LAU or many, and varied, and pahiwa meaning dark, or to darken, such as flocks of birds darkening the sky, is the vision kupuna had when vocalizing this phrase. This project is a training module especially created for the researchers and scientists connected to the US fish and wildlife, whose responsibility is the flourishing of our native birds. Although kupuna employed bird practitioners, we currently do not experience these kind of experts due to the fact that the expertise of bird catching hence, bird observing has not been a practice and is not a viable necessity presently in hawaiian culture. Therefore, the real bird practitioners are those who observe, research, and document their studies for conservation and restoration purposes for the purpose of halting the extinction of existing native birds. This project will instill ancestral ecological knowledge of our relationship to our natural world through mele (data-filled ancestral text), KA AO (data-inspired mythology), and ceremony and the interpretation of these traditions through the lens of the scientific community of bird conservationists. This information will be researched and then communicated to current day bird practitioners to connect that biocultural considerations into practice.
