National history day supplement [hawai?i council for the humanities (HCH) requests funding to support the growth of its ?olelo hawai?i program, which provides opportunities for students to create national history day (NHD) projects in their indigenous language. A lead historian consultant will work to recruit a more diverse pool of NHD judges from the ?olelo hawai?i community, including immersion school staff and scholars from hawaiian studies departments, indigenous politics departments, and hawaiian language departments. The consultant will also conduct outreach to at least seven hawaiian-language schools to share resources, such as collections of ?olelo hawai?i primary sources, with teachers and students interested in taking part. Finally, the award would fund travel for four students and teachers to present their ?olelo hawai?i projects at a showcase at the national museum of the american indian during the national history day national contest in 2024.  ]
