Federal funds support ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi

The Mānoa Heritage Center has been awarded a $90,000 grant from the Nahonal Endowment of the Humanities for activities to revitalize the Hawaiian language, history and culture, U.S. Sen. Mazie Hirono announced in August. The donation will be matched by The First Nations Development Institute. "This project will allow MHC to partner with Hawaiian language researchers and educators from Awaiaulu, the Hawai'i State Department of Education and the University of Hawai'i's Uehiro Academy for Philosophy and Ethics in Education, to create a vibrant community focused on providing previously unavailable humanities resources for Hawai'i's educators," said Jenny Engle, Mānoa Heritage Center's education director. "Programs like the Mānoa Heritage Center and East-West Center help expand our knowledge of the histories, languages and cultures that shape our world view," Hirono said.
