62. Kahaluʻu Kūāhewa: Reconnecting Kānaka to ʻĀina in Kona

In this interview with Jesse Kekoa Kahoʻonei and Kim Kahoʻonei from Kahaluʻu Kūāhewa, we hear updates on their ʻāina restoration and community education work in the ahupuaʻa of Kahaluʻu in Kona, Hawaiʻi.

Kahalu’u Kūāhewa is based in one of Konaʻs largest intact traditional agricultural field systems preserved within a 354-acre area owned by Bishop Estate-Kamehameha Schools. They have documented 3,500 archaeological features, almost all of which are considered traditional agricultural features.

To hear about the origins of the hui and moʻolelo of this ʻāina, listen to our first episode with them: episode 33 Kahaluʻu Kūāhewa (Huliauapaʻa): Food Sovereignty and ʻĀina Education in Kona.
