World-renowned experts in indigenous language and knowledge will convene at the University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> at M\u0101noa<\/a>‘s Andrews Amphitheater for an evening of Hawaiian language, knowledge, mele and hula on February 23.<\/p>\n

In honor of Mahina ʻ\u014clelo<\/span> Hawaiʻi<\/span>, Hawaiian Language Month, A Hoʻolauleʻa<\/span> of Knowledges will bring together Sir T\u012bmoti K\u0101retu, a preeminent scholar of language and cultural revitalization for his native M\u0101ori, with a panel of remarkable Pacific Island experts.<\/p>\n

According to Puakea Nogelmeier<\/strong>, a professor of Hawaiian language at 东精影业<\/abbr> M\u0101noa’s Kawaihuelani Center for Hawaiian Language<\/a>, “Sea Grant<\/a>‘s Hoʻolauleʻa<\/span> of Knowledges promises to be a unique event, where thoughtful reflection is invested into great entertainment. Rare indeed to hear Sir T\u012bmoti K\u0101retu in person, it is rarer to have local scholars be able to express how his thoughts are embodied here in Hawaiʻi<\/span>.”<\/p>\n

The expert panel, which convenes after Sir T\u012bmoti’s keynote address, includes Papaliʻi<\/span> Tusi Avegalio<\/strong><\/a>, director of the 东精影业<\/abbr> M\u0101noa Pacific Business Center Program<\/a>; Kaliko Baker<\/strong>, assistant professor with the Kawaihuelani Center for Hawaiian Language; Kalehua Krug, educational specialist with the state Department of Education; and Kalei Nuʻuhiwa<\/span>, Papak\u016b Makawalu researcher with the Edith Kanakaʻole<\/span> Foundation.<\/p>\n

Following the panel discussion, award-winning musicians Robert Cazimero and h\u0101lau hula Na Kamalei, 东精影业<\/abbr> West Oʻahu<\/span>‘s Aaron Sal\u0101<\/strong>, Snowbird Bento and K\u016bpaoa will present new mele and classic favorites.<\/p>\n

The event, from 4 to 8 p.m., is free and open to the public, and tickets can be downloaded online<\/a>. Food vendors will be available.<\/p>\n
