ABOUT OUR GUEST PRESENTER: William Miki Kalaniopio Cook is a Native Hawaiian instructor at the University of Hawai?i Windward Community College where he teaches courses in Hawaiian Studies and Hawaiian Language. His primary educational interests and focus are in ?Olelo Hawai?i, Hawaiian wood carving, the study of neolithic tools and indigenous crafts of Hawaiian origin. His master?s research centered on building a repository of Hawaiian Language terminology for use in carving contexts and curriculum building. Professor Cook is a member of the carving group, "Kupa?aike?e," which aims to revitalize the tradition of Hawaiian ki?i carving by training a new generation of carving practitioners. He strives to provide students and community with culture-based and ?aina-based education through a kanaka ?oiwi lens centering the Hawaiian Language as the medium of instruction whenever possible.
Lane?s Asian and Pacific Islander Student Programs Faculty Program Coordinator, Kumu Iwalani Raes, is honored to be able to invite Professor Cook in a live simultaneous broadcast in the Lane Multicultural Center space for this special hybrid (virtual via Zoom and limited in-person) interactive presentation.
