Video replay available – Pathways to Place: An Ethnohistorical Study of the Merwin Conservancy at Pe‘ahi, Maui

Historic Hawai‘i Foundation in partnership with The Merwin Conservancy presents An Exploration of Land as a Repository of the Past Tuesday, December 14, 2021 From 5:00-6:15PM Virtual, via Zoom Cost: Free View the video recording below. A discussion exploring the theme of place literacy and land as receptacle of collective and multilayered histories with Kepā and Onaona Maly of Kumu Pono Associates and the Merwin Conservancy’s executive director, Sonnet Kekilia Coggins. The Merwin Conservancy is a small and thriving arts and ecology organization on the island of Maui. It conserves both an extraordinary place—a lush and rare, 19-acre palm forest planted and tended by two-time Pulitzer prize winning poet W.S. Merwin from land once designated as agricultural wasteland — and it preserves the sense of wonder that brought forth both Merwin’s poetry, and his garden. In 2012, Kepā Maly conducted a series of oral history interviews with W. S. Merwin, and in late 2020, he and Onaona were asked to assist the Conservancy in researching and preparing an ethnographic study of Pe‘ahi and neighboring lands. The study presents a rich resource for the development of place-based, culturally literate interpretative themes and programs and opportunities for the enrichment of both resident and visitor experiences. It is also a tool to help with future stewardship of this unique place. The conversation will share the value and benefits of place literacy as a guide for protecting and sharing historic places. Presenters Kepā and Onaona Maly are the founders of Kumu Pono Associates LLC: Giving voice to the land, traditions and people of Hawai’i through ethnographic research, oral history studies and interpretive-educational programs. They have worked together [...]

In recent decades, there has been a resurgence of this indigenous way of aquafarming. Kai Piha: Nā Loko Iʻa looks at how four fishponds on Oʻahu are being restored. DOWNLOAD THE EVENT FLYER Loko i‘a are historical evidence to the legacy of abundance throughout our islands -- abundance of freshwater flowing to the ocean, abundance of healthy coastal fisheries and thriving human communities that lived independently on isolated islands in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

This year has reminded us of that, more than ever, historic places matter. Forging ways for people to connect with where they live, with past events and with people who came before them, is a powerful source of healing and hope. Giving people the tools and knowledge they need to preserve places enables them to increase awareness of Hawai‘i’s diverse history.
