<DIV>Wow! That's even better... Thanks Keola for the expansion update. I sure
hope this will initiate some movement in a similar direction and with many more
indigenous peoples and languages. What is that old idiom... 'I shall return....'
Indications are, that is happening now. Right on too. Best of luck to all. This
is great stuff.<BR>-------<BR>wahjeh<BR>rolland nadjiwon</DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>One of the aspects of the program not mentioned in this article
or really elsewhere has been the extensive use of video and audio conferencing
to bring a very broad indigenous, and not just Hawaiian, perspective to the
program. This included two classes by Bill Demmert at Western Washington
delivered to our students in Hilo a few years ago, as well as others at U of
Arizona and in Alaska. This past semester, we had a class which originated in
Hilo and taught by Dr. Noelani Iokepa-Guerrero and which was delivered to
students in Aotearoa, Alaska, Wisconsin, Arizona as well as Hawai‘i students
on the islands of Moloka‘i and Kaua‘i. Students in our MA and Ph.d. programs
were able to count the classes toward our programs, and students at the other
institutions did the same for those schools. Strength in numbers and
diversity. I've been planning to write a short article on this most recent
class, I'll post it here when I do.
