Ua Mau Ke Ea O Ka ʻĀina I Ka Pono. The life of the land is perpetuated in righteous.
HULIAU O WAI'ANAE
Huliau means a turning point a shift in direction, a time of change.
Huliau o Waiʻanae represents a community-driven turning point where Native Hawaiian leadership, lived experience, and data come together to shape decisions about land, water, and health.
Wai'anae Community Health Assessment
Understanding the Link Between Environmental Conditions and Community Health.
When water, air, and land are impacted, our families feel it. The Waiʻanae Community Health Assessment was created to document lived experience, identify environmental health concerns, and ensure community voices inform policy and protection.
Kānaka 'Ōiwi Advisory Hui
Native Hawaiian voices are not symbolic they are essential.
When decisions about land, water, and health are made without those most impacted, inequities persist. Centering ʻike kupuna and community data ensures agencies and policymakers can respond to real conditions on the ground.
Strengthening the Kānaka ʻŌiwi Advisory Hui builds leadership, accountability, and solutions rooted in our people and ʻāina.
Organizations We Support and Collaborate With
Nā Kama Kai
In partnership with Nā Kama Kai’s summer program, ʻōpio engaged in water testing, ʻUaʻu Kani awareness, native tree education, and bicycle safety, strengthening their kulana (place) and kuleana (responsibility) to protect Waiʻanae’s ʻāina and wai.
Malama Learning Center
In partnership with Mālama Learning Center, Kingdom Pathways participates in Ho‘ākea events to showcase our environmental work and engage keiki through hands-on learning. Using interactive watershed models, we demonstrate how water moves from mauka to makai and how everyday actions directly impact streams, groundwater, and our nearshore ocean.
Keiki learn why we must mālama our waters and explore simple, practical ways to contribute to solutions from reducing pollution and conserving water to participating in restoration and community monitoring efforts.
Through collaboration and place-based education, these events strengthen environmental awareness and empower the next generation to care for Waiʻanae’s land and water systems.
Hāna'i Kaiā'ulu
We show our youth that caring for ʻāina is not just stewardship it is a career path. Through hands-on events in Mākaha, Moku o Keawe – Kānaka Kareers, Kūʻilioloa Heiau – ʻUaʻu Kani survey efforts, Kingdom Pathways connects ʻōpio to real ʻāina-based professions rooted in place.
Because our keiki should be able to stay home, build skills, and protect the land that raised them.
