Keauhou (New Beginnings)When Kaiāulu <strong>Anahola</strong> introduced culture- and project-basedlearning to students, there was almost no written informationabout <strong>Anahola</strong> to reference. Nothing had been written aboutour ahupua‘a in <strong>Hawaii</strong>an for more than 100 years. We thoughta book about the various wahi pana (sacred and/or celebratedplaces) in <strong>Anahola</strong> and a lunar calendar could give us the baselineinformation we needed to build our understanding and appreciationof traditional fishing and marine resource knowledge.Students at Kaiāulu <strong>Anahola</strong> started collecting information of thewahi pana for the <strong>Anahola</strong> book in February 2012. The studentsinvolved in this project were all elementary school students fromKawaikini <strong>Hawaii</strong>an Immersion Public Charter School located inPuhi. The students came to Kaiāulu <strong>Anahola</strong> three days a week inthe Spring semester.‘O <strong>Anahola</strong>! ‘O <strong>Anahola</strong>! ‘O ko’u moku e noho ai. ‘O ko‘u ‘āina enoho ai. ‘O ko‘u kulāiwi e noho ai. ‘O <strong>Anahola</strong>! ‘O <strong>Anahola</strong>!
