Hui Mauli Ola

Hui Mauli Ola will partner with Native Hawaiian healing masters to ethically gather, store, organize, curate, and make accessible documents and resources pertaining to traditional Native Hawaiian healing practices via a digital archive. Project activities include developing protocols for ethical data stewardship determined by the Native Hawaiian healing community; collecting and digitizing materials for inclusion in the database; and developing and publishing the digital archive. The project will establish a foundational system of documenting and tracing Native Hawaiian traditional healing knowledge while increasing Native Hawaiian archival infrastructure capacity, benefiting students, the community of Hawai‘i, Native Hawaiians, and other Pacific Islanders.
