Cultural Program Sponsorship
DETAILS
HNC (DAWSON) made a major donation to PVS to support development of storytelling content for Waʻa Honua, a digital education platform to accompany the upcoming 44-month Moananuiākea Pacific Voyage covering 41,000 miles, 345 ports, 46 countries and archipelagoes, and 100 indigenous territories. Led by the voyaging canoe Hōkūleʻa and her sister canoe, Hikianalia, the physical canoes will be linked to this third, virtual canoe to make the voyage available to audiences across the planet with a daily offering of exciting live content that provides education opportunities through themes relevant to our broader lives. A new generation of voyagers is being trained to ensure that the ancient wisdom reclaimed nearly 50 years ago is never again lost. Waʻa Honua will be built with similar intention, with the advantage of being a truly infinite space to host the learning and sharing of positivity, globally.
