Biography
Native Hawaiian who's been passed down the family tradition of Hula. I am a strong advocate of native language normalization especially in conservation efforts of our costal ecosystems and delicate native bird populations. I am the Executive Director of the Edith Kanakaole Foundation who's work is built upon and grounded in ancestral intelligence and ancestral intimacy with their natural surroundings.
