Hui ʻĀina Momona is a consortium of scholars from across the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa who “focus on cross-disciplinary solutions to natural and cultural resource management, sustainability, and food security issues facing Native Hawaiians, Pacific Islanders, and other Indigenous communities, integrating contemporary and traditional Hawaiian knowledge and practices.” Hui ʻĀina Momona aims to strengthen capacity to kiaʻi ‘āina, care for and govern natural resources at the local level. In January 2017, we interviewed and surveyed individuals and organizations involved in ʻāina based work to learn about training and professional development needs for staff and new hires.
