Come because you value this kuleana\, are willing to learn from the kumu and desire to rec onnect to your own ancestral memories and skills of cultural practice.WAIM AKALEHUATraining will involve inviting kūpuna to guide and empower us. As we were taught\, a menstruating wāhine cannot be in proximity to kūpuna and by extension participate in training.Should this sacred condition ari se after training starts\, please inform a kumu\, mahalo.MEALS &\; DRIN KSBreakfast\, lunch\, dinner\, and drinks (wai) will be provided to all pa rticipants. Please bring healthy snacks and your flasks. No alcohol or dru gs are allowed.‘ŌLELO NO‘EAUThese proverbs are intended to provide a kahua (foundation) for learning to mālama the iwi kūpuna:Mai kaula‘i i nā iwi i ka lā | Don’t expose the bones to the sun\, to lightThis tra ditional proverb teaches us not to disturb the iwi kūpuna and expose them to light. If it becomes necessary for their safety to relocate or because the ‘ohana wants to move them elsewhere\, we must strive to protect the m from the light. This is also why we work so hard to repatriate all iwi k ūpuna because they are being exposed.Mai lawe wale i nā mea i ho‘omoep ū ‘ia | Don’t wantonly take things placed with the deadThis traditio nal proverb teaches us the discipline of not coveting items placed with th e deceased. Once an item is ho‘omoepū ‘ia\, placed with the deceased person\, a permanent bond is created that is not supposed to be broken. It also means that when we seek to repatriate iwi kūpuna\, we must strive e qually to repatriate and reunite the iwi with their moepū.Ma ka hana ka ‘ike\, ma ka ‘ike ka maopopo | Knowing by doing leads to understanding This contemporary proverb is intended to make clear that if you want to be an advocate for the care and protection of iwi kūpuna\, you must know ho w to mālama. Understandings are shaped by knowledge\, which is acquired f rom practice. So practice\, practice\, practice and do not just opine or c omplain. Just because you mean well does not mean you will be able to do w ell without proper training\, so train hard\, with intent\, guided by your ancestors and our kumu.
