Between 2022-2024, the Center for Oral History (COH) conducted a mo‘o‘ōlelo (oral history) project focused on the memories of Native Hawaiian Lahainaluna boarding students from approximately 1950-1999. Led by Dr. Ty Kāwika Tengan and Graduate Research Assistant Wailana Medeiros with support from COH Associate Director Micah Mizukami and former Director and Professor Emerita Davianna Pōmaikaʻi McGregor, more than twenty interviews were conducted across the Paeʻāina (Hawaiian Islands) and nineteen were made available to publish. This project was generously funded by the HK West Maui Fund and would not have been possible without the support of the Lahainaluna Boarders Association and the Lahainaluna Library and Archives.
