The Sphere at Maui Ocean Center
Join PWF and Maui Ocean Center for a free community gathering celebrating Papahānaumokuākea with ʻono food, storytelling, mele, and cultural connection!
This gathering, Papahānaumokuākea: Bringing the Place to the People, honors the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands and its surrounding waters, a place rich in cultural history and ecological importance. Come share in an evening of food, mele, and moʻolelo as cultural practitioners, researchers, and others with strong ties to Papahānaumokuākea talk story about their connection to this sacred place.
Come with your aloha spirit, ready to listen, learn, and connect.
