HAWAIIANS LEARNING AS HAWAIIANS FOR HAWAIIANS IN HAWAIIAN
Leadership Based on MANA: “ Āina / „Ohana / Hana ”
Epistemological Paradigm:
„A„ohe pau ka „ike i ka hālau ho„okahi
“All learning is not finished in a single place of learning”
Mahalo for this opportunity to share with you that which was passed to me from my
ancestors, mentors, kumu, and that which I‟ve derived from my own introspection.
I‟m neither the sage on the stage nor some Delphic oracle acting as the all-knowing guru.
We comprise a team of learning wherein I will be here to learn from you, your dreams,
your efforts, and your mana. Together, we will create more than the sum of our selves.
This is as I was taught. Out of faithful respect for my culture, this is how you will be.
Instructional Linkage:
Nānā i ke kumu
“Look to the source”
Though I am the teacher (“kumu”), we both know in Hawaiian thinking that our
relationship is by mutual consent. It is “kāu” kumu… nothing more and nothing less.
Therefore I will not forget that I am here by your desire, to teach you what you agree to
make the effort to learn from me. I remain humbled an honored at your initial trust.
In essence, you have hired me to accomplish my mission; and I‟ll endeavor to do so well.
As a team, you will recollect that; Huli ka lima i lalo e ola, Huli ka lima i luna e make !!
Timely arrival to class and timely acquisition of our mission objectives is essential to a
healthy rrival of the academic destination to which we all aspire. Therefore… as you
know, MAI KALI A PAU KA NIHO !!! This will be the essence of Hawaiian Time.
However, if your behavior, lack of respect, lack of attention, and/or lack of kuleana
interferes with this journey, thrn you have not valued that which I offer, and we will
disengage this experience, and the subsequent grade will be rendered. You may also
render your assessment of my proficiencies, methods, and efforts (or lack thereof).
Pedagogical Linkage:
Pa‘a ka waha, Nānā ka maka, Ho‘olohe ke pepeiao, Hana ka lima, Ma ka hana ka ‘ike “Close the mouth, look with the eyes, listen with the ears, work with the hands, Learn by doing”
We will be resourceful and faithful. We will learn more in less time so quickly in the
ways of my ancestors, that we will travel farther sooner than all could scarcely imagine.
But the driving ancestral paradigm becomes; Mai maka‘u ka hana, maka‘u ka moloā!!
This is the quintessential elements of Hawiian learning. Many may have forgotten.
You will be promptly reminded in the event you may have difficulties remembering.
I will not recite rules. I will not pontificate values. I will not promulgate what you know.
You will conduct yourselves as professionals in a mature fashion. If I have to tell you
what such behavior resembles, then you likely will not understand, regardless. I will also
expect you to hold me to this same (or higher) standard. Because, in the end, we both
recognize that this is mission objective to which we strive to excel. Kulia i ka nu‘u, EŌ!

Students With Disabilities
Hawaiian culture views any “physical/mental” challenges as an indication of great mana!
Chaminade will provide assistance for any student with documented disabilities. Any student
who believes he/she may need accommodations in this class must contact Dr. June Yasuhara,
735-4845, at the Counseling Center (office next to Security) in order to determine if the student
meets the requirements for documented disability in accordance with the Americans with
Disabilities Act. It is important to contact them as soon as possible so that accommodations are
implemented in a timely fashion.
Marianist Educational Values
Chaminade University is a Catholic, Marianist University.
The five characteristics of a Marianist education are: 1. Educate for Formation in Faith
Catholic Universities affirm an intricate relationship between reason and faith. As important as discursive
and logical formulations and critical thinking are, they are not able to capture all that can be and ought to be
learned. Intellectual rigor coupled with respectful humility provide a more profound preparation for both
career and life. Intellectual rigor characterizes the pursuit of all that can be learned. Respectful humility
reminds people of faith that they need to learn from those who are of other faiths and cultures, as well as
from those who may have no religious faith at all.
2. Provide an Excellent Education
In the Marianist approach to education, “excellence” includes the whole person, not just the technician or
rhetorician. Marianist universities educate whole persons, developing their physical, psychological,
intellectual, moral, spiritual and social qualities. Faculty and students attend to fundamental moral attitudes,
develop their personal talents and acquire skills that will help them learn all their lives. The Marianist
approach to education links theory and practice, liberal and professional education. Our age has been
deeply shaped by science and technology. Most recently, information and educational technologies have
changed the way faculty and students research and teach. At Marianist Universities, two goals are pursued
simultaneously: an appropriate use of information technology for learning, and the enhancement of
interaction between students and teachers. As Catholic, Marianist Universities seek to embrace diverse
peoples and understand diverse cultures, convinced that ultimately, when such people come together, one of
the highest purposes of education is realized: a human community that respects every individual within it.
3. Educate in Family Spirit
Known for their strong sense of community, Marianists have traditionally spoken of this sense as “family
spirit.” Marianist educational experience fosters the development of a community characterized by a sense
of family spirit that accepts each person with loving respect, and draws everyone in the university into the
challenge of community building. Family spirit also enables Marianist universities to challenge their
students, faculty and staff to excellence and maturity, because the acceptance and love of a community gives
its members the courage to risk failure and the joy of sharing success.
4. Educate for Service, Justice, and Peace
The Marianist approach to higher education is deeply committed to the common good. The intellectual life
itself is undertaken as a form of service in the interest of justice and peace, and the university curriculum is
designed to connect the classroom with the wider world. In addition, Marianist universities extend a special
concern for the poor and marginalized and promote the dignity, rights and responsibilities of all people.
5. Educate for Adaptation to Change
In the midst of rapid social and technological change, Marianist universities readily adapt and change their
methods and structures so that the wisdom of their educational philosophy and spirituality may be
transmitted even more fully. “New times call for new methods,” Father Chaminade often repeated. The
Marianist university faces the future confidently, on the one hand knowing that it draws on a rich educational
philosophy, and on the other fully aware for that philosophy to remain vibrant in changing times, adaptations
need to be made. Selected from Characteristics of Marianist Universities: A Resource Paper, Published in 1999 by Chaminade
University of Honolulu, St. Mary’s University and University of Dayton
Each of these characteristics is integrated, to varying degrees, in this course.

TEN ACTION ITEMS:
YOUR NAME: (1) Logistical Impression: If you haven't already, please set up a professional-sounding gMail account directed to a goal using a value-based or career-type name: (eg, [email protected], [email protected] ). Examples which don't work for me are hotsurfahchix, mcdaddymaniac, whoseYOURdaddy. I want to remind you that even if you believe you are an "anime" character, past life samurai, etc, it will be very difficult for me (or a scholarship committee) to take you serious if your email address is based in fantasy. You can forward all emails from it to your "main" email account or just make gmail your new better email account. Email me the responses below from your (old or new) gMail account. [ Did you complete this Action Item? ] (2) Pot at Rainbows End How much money are you looking to secure? This is a tricky question, because if you want a "little" then you are wasting your time. If you want a "LOT" I will be expecting a lot of effort now, and a responsibility to "pay" back in your career efforts and future mentoring. I will expect MORE from you. If you are receiving "loans"... endeavor to at least remove that financial load. Depending on your motivation... consider at least making enough to be comfortable and debt free.... this is a the most reasonable pathway to mature adulthood.
