Meet Mehana Vaughan and Jennifer Luck of Kīpuka Kuleana.
Kīpuka Kuleana believes that keeping Hawaiian and long time local families in their communities, whether through sustained land ownership or other pathways that allow them to continue to serve as caretakers, is vital to the social and ecological health of Hawaiʻi ahupuaʻa, to perpetuating their character across generations, and to community survival and resilience. Dedicated to helping ʻohana keep their ancestral lands, they provide workshops for Kauaʻi ʻohana, conduct community classes, work on policies and legislation to reduce tax burdens and protect kuleana lands, hold work days that bring Kauaʻi community hui together, and create videos and other educational materials to reach potential investors and ʻāina purchasers to encourage protection of ʻāīna on Kauaʻi and discourage predatory sales.

An interview with Guy Hanohano Naehu and Tanya Mailelani Naehu of Hui o Kuapā, featuring a special musical performance.
Founded in 1989, Hui o Kuapā educates local and global communities about Native Hawaiian biocultural resource management through the restoration, use and maintenance of Molokai’s loko iʻa (traditional Hawaiian fishponds) and their adjacent lands.
Their Nā Hulu Kūpuna Project seeks to hoʻohanohano (uplift and honor) Molokai’s kūpuna to ensure the moʻolelo (the stories), knowledge, and values they hold are passed on and perpetuated by future generations.
