Attention Educators of Grades 3 - 6
Educators who are looking for creative ways to inspire Mauis youth to excel in science, math, social studies and language arts standards and to care for resources within their ahupuaa are invited to participate in the Project Aloha Āina Curriculum Workshop. The hands-on workshop is available for grades 3-6 educators and will be offered on March 18th and 19th at the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary in Kīhei.

The workshop will include a teachers guide that offers standards-based lesson plans, student activity sheets, rubrics, related media, pre-post tests designed to help measure student achievement of standards, a half-day field excursion and lunch.
The Aloha Āina curriculum allows students to learn about Hawaiis unique environment while meeting the current Hawaii Content and Performance Standards (HCPS III) and the Nā Honua Mauli Ola guidelines. Each grade levels unit builds upon a foundation of culture and place-based learning while immersing students in scientific inquiry and related social studies explorations. Math and language arts skills are incorporated as a means for students to interpret and express their findings.
Shaping the future while preserving a heritage, Project Aloha Āina is working to provide Hawaiis youth with culturally relevant curricula to inspire them to embrace aloha `āina as a way of life. This educational project fosters foundational learning experiences that reflect Native Hawaiian culture and core values.

Case made for Fishpond
By MELISSA TANJI, Staff Writer
KIHEI
U.S. Rep. Ed Case made good Sunday morning on a promise to return to Koieie Loko Ia in Kihei and lay stones with those rebuilding the ancient fishpond.
Stepping out of the neatly pressed suit and tie hed wear as a member of Congress, Case put on surf shorts, heavy-duty boots and a long-sleeved shirt that said, Revitalizing a wall; Revitalizing a Culture. He pitched in with more than 10 others carrying, stacking and sorting through rocks to be added to the wall of the royal fishpond. |

KIHEI
The work to revive an ancient Hawaiian fishpond has begun in waters off South Maui.
When its done in a year or so, the fishpond called Koieie Loko Ia will provide a glimpse of how people in old Hawaii thrived by what they harvested from the ocean.
The Koieie fishpond, which is listed as a National Historic Preservation Site, sits off Kalepolepo Park on South Kihei Road between the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary and the Menehune Shores condominium. |

No Ka Oi Magazine Article

By Joana Varawa
Fishponds were things that beautified the land,
and a land with many fishponds
was called a fat land.
Samuel Kamakau, 1869
As the tide ebbs, big black rocks break the surface of the placid water. They look like huge turtles at rest. As the tide continues to recede, a 1,000-foot-long semicircle of tumbled, wave-washed rocks is revealed. It is the wall of Koieie, an ancient Hawaiian loko ia (fishpond) in front of Kalepolepo County Park in Khei. |
