Indigenous Forum – Opening Ceremonial Protocol with Hawai’in Youth
Three youth groups will open our participation in this gathering with oli (chants) and hula dances rooted in ancestral intention and connection. The ceremony calls upon Wākea (Sky Father), and Papahānaumoku (Mother Earth) and includes Hula Kauluwehiokekai by Mary Kawena Puku’i that honors marine life and the vital role of limu (seaweed), reminding us of our interconnectedness and responsibility to care for all life on Earth and one another.
