Organizations Filed Purposes:
I Nui Ke Aho uses our traditional, double-hulled Hawaiian sailing canoe, Wanana Paoa, on the North Shore of Oahu to provide safety-focused educational programs on and about the canoe. We teach collaboration, the traditional navigator's mindset, pono (honorable and correct) decision-making, and voyaging to youth, families and community members. Our volunteers maintain and care for the canoe under the leadership of an experienced navigator and captain. Practicing mutual respect, they study and teach environmental awareness, Hawaiian cultural values, and the protection and perpetuation of natural and cultural resources through Wanana Paoa, Kahokuwelowelo Heiau and our home lands and waters. Mission: As a voyaging organization, we strive to grow a vibrant north shore community that understands, values and enriches its culture, place and people.
In 2018, for the Waa (voyaging canoe) component of our non-profit, I Nui Ke Aho conducted crew training among volunteers on the canoe and at the navigational heiau Kahokuwelowelo (to which we have secured a right of entry from the private landowner), and successfully sailed and cared for the canoe Wanana Paoa at sea and during maintenance dry docks on land.
In 2018, in the Education/Outreach program component, I Nui Ke Aho launched our website, developed a foundational curriculum and education manual, completed a successful pilot of our education program (service 321 students), and launched our community engagement programing by completing its first site visit of the navigational heiau (temple).
