Aloha mai kakou! Welcome to our ‘Moanan Abroad’ season.

To kick off this series we have Kalehua Krug. A kumu (school principle), kakau marker (Hawaiian tattooing), scholar and Indigenous philosopher. Originally from Moloka’i, he now resides in Wai’anae on the island of O’ahu. 

In this episode he shares with us Indigenous philosophies and worldviews from a Kanaka Maoli (Indigenous Hawaiian) perspective. He also shares insights into how we, as Indigenous peoples, can honour and connect to our culture while living in the West. Mahalo nui Kalehua!
