13 Years of Wisdom

For 13 years and over 1000 students, Lanakila Managauil has become a staple at Māla`ai. His natural gift of sharing mo`olelo has earned him a special place in the garden and in the hearts of our students. He has been sharing the Kumulipo and Hāloa stories to 6th graders in their first semester at Waimea Middle School. Due to Covid-19, our 7th graders missed this opportunity when they were in 6th grade, but we were able to change that this quarter. As the Makahiki season begins, we express deep gratitude that Lanakila was able to come share his mana`o. We look forward to continuing this tradition!
