PERPETUATING CULTURE // SHARING ALOHA
I Ola Kanaloa! I Ola Kākou!
LOCATION
Honolulu, Hawaiʻi
PARTNER ORGANIZATION
Puʻuhonua Society
IMPACT TYPE
Aloha ʻĀina, Cultural Program
DETAILS
In partnership with Puʻuhonua Society, HNC (DAWSON) co-sponsored the exhibition I Ola Kanaloa! I Ola Kākou: Photographs of Kahoʻolawe, 1976–1987, presenting images that Hawaiʻi photographer Franco Salmoiraghi made during three early Protect Kahoʻolawe ʻOhana huakaʻi, or access trips, to the island. The exhibition highlights a milestone movement that helped fuel countless modern aloha ʻāina actions and organizations. By occupying the Island of Kahoʻolawe in 1976, this effort led to the creation of an islands-wide grassroots organization, the Protect Kahoʻolawe ʻOhana and a pathway for the subsequent process of restoration of the island as a place for healing and the reinstatement of Hawaiian protocol rights.
