This year's Hoʻokele Naʻauao theme is Knowledge Structures: Avenues for Indigenous Knowledge. The system or way in which information or items are organized in order to facilitate access. These knowledge structures are the physical representation of how information is defined, grouped and connected to one another and are thus the foundation of the the LIS profession. The theme of Ho’okele 2016 seeks to explore this foundation of knowledge structures in order to spark conversation on how information professionals can help Native Hawaiians gain agency by putting them in charge of defining, and creating, knowledge structures that reflect a traditional and culturally appropriate view of Kanaka Maoli wisdom.
Keynote Speaker: Dr. Noenoe Silva, Professor, Indigenous Politics & Hawaiian Language, UH Manoa on "Restoring Kanaka Intellectual History" - 2:00pm to 2:45pm |
Panel 1 - Indigenous Knowledge & Kuleana - 9:20am to 11:05am
Where and how indigenous knowledge is stored, in what shapes and forms they take, and the processes by which we acquire it. What drives or deters us from seeking out indigenous knowledge. Also, a look at what our responsibility and roles are as stewards of indigenous knowledge. Also, are there current mindsets concerning indigenous knowledge that should be challenged?
Panel 2 - Indigenous Knowledge Structures 2.0: Indigenous Knowledge Dissemination and Access in the 2.0 Environment - 11:15am to 12:30pm How is the Web 2.0 environment being used to share and disseminate indigenous knowledge? What types of indigenous knowledge can be found online, how can it be accessed, and who is using this knowledge? How can indigenous knowledge, accessed through web resources, increase our awareness of indigenous paradigms and cultural practice?
