KALIKO KAAUAMO

Kaliko Kaauamo is an educator, singer, kalo farmer, and Hawaiian language advocate. As a classroom teacher for over a decade she has seen the deep connections students are able to make to Hawaiʻi when they learn the unique stories and songs of this place. Kaliko is inspired by music as a tool to transport students into stories, to support students in using Hawaiiʻs indigenous language, and in activating a deep love of place in students of all ages. Through song, oli, and traditional Hawaiian instruments students leave her classes with a deeper connection to culture and the talents within themselves.

KILIHUNE KAʻAIHUE

Kilihune Ka'aihue was born and raised on the shores of Kailua, 'O'ahu. With over 40 years of hula training,  she's dedicated her life to building a firm foundation in health and wellness as a Hawaiian cultural practioner and educator. She recently completed her formal 'ūniki training as kumu hula and believes that our mana lies within the valuable connections we establish to our three piko, in simple terms; mind, body and spirit.  When we culturally engage and mālama our mental (mind), physical (body) and emotional (spirt) well-being,  we become well-balanced kanaka rich in our identity and purposeful in serving our lāhui in beneficial ways. As an aerialist,  dancer and yoga teacher on Maui for the past 24 years, she has seen the longevity of her career apparent in her cultural approach to movement, yoga, breath work and diet. She hopes to instill these 'ike Hawaiʻi health practices to the next generation building stronger self connections for our youth to thrive.

ALEAH GOMES MAKUAKĀNE
