In a momentous year we celebrate two waʻa of our ʻOhana Waʻa—Hōkūleʻa who turns 50 this year and Makaliʻi who turns 30 years—a testament to the strength, resilience, and value of our voyaging traditions. These waʻa have carried the legacy of our ancestors across vast oceans, inspiring generations to navigate with courage, mālama honua, and honor the wisdom of our Oceanic lifeways. Scroll down to our ʻOhana Happenings blogs to see how we celebrated!
