Kūpuna Talk Story is a compelling video initiative that brings together kūpuna (elders) and the youth of Hawaiʻi to foster intergenerational knowledge sharing. This series allows kūpuna to impart the wisdom they have accumulated over their lifetimes, engaging younger generations in cultural practices and concepts such as aloha (compassion), mālama ʻāina (caring for the land), and pilina (connection) between the land and the people of Hawaiʻi. Through heartfelt conversations, this series aims to preserve and perpetuate Hawaiian culture, ensuring that the values and practices that define Hawaiʻi are passed down and remain vibrant for future generations.
