Workshop Session 6 (4:15pm-6:15pm)

Our kupuna left us a legacy of wisdom about healthy foods to support a thriving låhui. Our foods connected us to our kupuna, our spirituality, our stories, and our environment. Nurturing these connections helped build a strong foundation for strong bodies, minds, and spirits. You are invited to come and share, learn, and talk about our kupuna foods, how we use that knowledge today, how we perpetuate our foods and keep our stories alive…and, most importantly, how we build a healthier future.
