Presentation hosted by Historic Hawaii Foundation:

Presented through the framework of ancestral practice as contemporary innovation, the webinar will highlight how restoration and reclamation of traditional sites and cultural practices is a means to address contemporary issues like mitigation, resilience and adaptation to climate change.

Case studies will introduce the use of 'ike kūpuna (traditional cultural practices and knowledge) to perpetuate Hawaiian culture and navigate the challenges of a swiftly evolving landscape. Featured sites/projects include Pu‘u Kukui Watershed Preserve (Lahaina, Maui); Alakoko Fishpond (Hulē‘ia Region, Kaua‘i); fisheries management -- a Community-based Subsistence Fishing Area (CBSFA) (Hana, Maui) and Conservation Action Planning (Kailua-Kona, Hawai‘i Island).

A moderated panel with time for Q&A with the presenters will follow.
