The vision of Kaho\u02bbiwai is the reclamation of Hawaiian knowledge sovereignty, aiming to actualize Hawaiian-centered autonomy and methods in the stewardship of Hawaiian knowledge. Building upon past work of Ka Wai H\u0101pai and development of the Hawaiian Knowledge Organization System (HKOS), the University of Hawai\u02bbi Libraries and its co-creators aim to achieve significant milestones towards advancing the discoverability and accessibility of Hawaiian library and archival materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kaho\u02bbiwai translates to the returning waters. Wai (water) is a life-sustaining resource and its value is noted in the \u02bb\u014dlelo Hawai\u02bbi word for wealth – waiwai. Where there is water, there is abundance. Like the movements to restore Hawai\u02bbi\u2019s waterways back to their natural paths, Kaho\u02bbiwai aims to remove obstacles and allow the waiwai and ea of Hawaiian knowledge to flow to the l\u0101hui Hawai\u02bbi. Kaho\u02bbiwai will focus on the following kahawai or streams:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kahawai 1: Hawaiian Knowledge Organization System<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kahawai 2: N\u016bpepa Index<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kahawai 3: Improve description in OCLC<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Co-creation is central to Kaho\u02bbiwai and ensures community and relational accountability while supporting other communities engaged in similar efforts. To prioritize and amplify community voices, we engage both Hawaiian knowledge and metadata experts. Our approach to building and sustaining relationships with our communities is illustrated in the He Mele No K\u0101ne Methodology<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A central component of this work is representing the interconnected nature of Hawaiian knowledge via culturally appropriate and culturally rigorous organization schemas and vocabularies. Ka Wai H\u0101pai (2021-2024) created over 100 authority records for terms across three domains, and this work continues as part of Kaho\u02bbiwai (2024-2027).
