Kealaikahiki

Kealaikahiki Kealaikahiki is the first and only Native Hawaiian serving program at the University of Hawaiʻi West Oʻahu. Funding provided by the U.S.

Doe, Title III, Part A, Native Hawaiian-Serving Institution grant "Kūkulu Ma Ke Kahua." HISTORY:
Prior to being established, Kealaikahiki began as “Noʻeau at Night” in January of 2011, funded by a one-time award granted by the U.S. DOE Title III, Part A, Native Hawaiian-Serving Institution Grant. Housed in the Noʻeau Center for Writing, Math, and Academic Success, “Noʻeau at Night” offered extend

ed evening hours and introduced tutoring in ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi (Hawaiian language), ʻike Hawaiʻi (Hawaiian Studies), and ʻike Hawaiʻi a me ka ʻike Pākīpika (Hawaiian-Pacific Studies). Throughout the 2011 Spring Semester “Noʻeau at Night” continued to expand and transitioned from a tutoring service into a Native Hawaiian Student Support Services program at the University. The name Kealaikahiki was given to the program by Amber Kalua (sister of Heather Kalua, founding member) who felt it was befitting of the program’s origin and mission. Kealaikahiki literally translates as “the pathway to Kahiki." Kahiki is a reference to the place our ancestors migrated from and is also the name of one of the island channels located in between Lānaʻi and Kahoʻolawe. Therefore, Kahiki is the pathway connecting us to our piko i luna, our kūpuna (ancestors), reaffirming our identity as Kānaka Maoli (Native Hawaiians) and recognizing the place of the indigenous peoples and its culture in this sphere of education. VISION:
To build an ala (pathway) bridging the past and ʻike (knowledge) of our kūpuna within the University.
