Hawaiian language program has been the seed for a journey covering far more ground than I ever anticipated when I first enrolled. Studying the Hawaiian language was, and still is, an integral facet in the rediscovery of my Hawaiian ‘ohana, in comprehending the influence of Hawaiian culture on my upbringing, and exploring my spirituality. The rewards of participating in Niuolahiki have far exceeded my initial expectations.” -Kimo W., Waynesville, NC., Niuolahiki Teacher-directed Student
