Kūlana Kanaka is a video talk-story that invites guests to speak about our roles and responsibilities as kānaka ʻōiwi to ourselves, our ʻohana, our kaiāulu, and our lāhui.

In this episode, Keoni Kelekolio, Director of Hawaiian Language Advancement at Kamehameha Schools, talks story with Kumu Hina about the role of the Hawaiian language in her life and its importance to kanaka ʻōiwi. This special episode is ma ka ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi a me ka ʻōlelo Niʻihau (in the Hawaiian language and in the Niʻihau dialect).
