He ʻŌlelo Ola 2023 | Graduates: Pursuing Justice from an Indigenous Base

Ka Haka ʻUla O Keʻelikōlani has a diverse group of graduates from its B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. programs. Those students come from Hawaiian focused tracks and its other Indigenous focused tracks. This panel focuses on activities of graduates on behalf of justice.

About He ʻŌlelo Ola

He ʻŌlelo Ola, also known as the "Hilo Field Study" of the International Conference on Language Documentation and Conservation (ICLDC) has been held biannually since 2009 in association with ICLDC. ICLDC is traditionally held on the campus of the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa on Oʻahu Island, while He ʻŌlelo Ola is held in a consortium of programs coordinated through the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo on Hawaiʻi Island.

In 2023, He ʻŌlelo Ola and ICLDC were held virtually and sessions recorded and made available for viewing through Mokuola Honua Center for Indigenous Language Excellence. The contents of this recording represent the consortium of entities working together in Hawaiian language revitalization as of March 2023. The consortium is continually growing and adding features and future He ʻŌlelo Ola will include new information and initiatives.
