Lāhui Rising is an event series sponsored by the Kaʻiwakīloumoku Pacific Indigenous Institute to hear and honor different perspectives on matters of Hawaiian interest for the purposes of education.

Our 2023-24 series aligned with the season of Makahiki and featured four unique discussions, each one focusing on an essential element of ea: ʻōlelo, wai, ʻai, and mauli. Through these panel discussions with content area experts from the community, let us expand our understanding of ea to encompass power and autonomy, and be inspired to find our own ways of activating ea in our daily lives.
