This He ʻŌlelo Ola 2021 "Ka Haka ʻUla O Keʻelikōlani College of Hawaiian Language" presentation describes the academic divisions of Ka Haka ʻUla O Keʻelikōlani College of Hawaiian Language and its incorporation of Ke Kumu Honua Mauli Ola, a Native Hawaiian education philosophy, that drives the development of the college's academic research, Hawaiian knowledge, and professionalism in Hawaiian culture-based education contexts.

About He ʻŌlelo Ola

He ʻŌlelo Ola, also known as the "Hilo Field Study" of the International Conference on Language Documentation and Conservation (ICLDC) has been held biannually since 2009 in association with ICLDC. ICLDC is traditionally held on the campus of the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa on Oʻahu Island, while He ʻŌlelo Ola is held in a consortium of programs coordinated through the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo on Hawaiʻi Island.

In 2021 during the COVID 19 pandemic, He ʻŌlelo Ola and ICLDC were held virtually. He ʻŌlelo Ola 2021 was recorded and we here make that recording available for viewing through Mokuola Honua Center for indigenous Language Excellence. The contents of this recording represent the consortium of entities working together in Hawaiian language revitalization as of March 2021. The consortium is continually growing and adding features and future He ʻŌlelo Ola will include new information and initiatives.
