A taste of knowledge exchange
The Miki ʻAi Series is our newest iteration of kānaka knowledge exchange publications, which include brown papers and miscellaneous publications as part of a continuing effort to create “community knowledge exchange.” Past publications include Uluhaimalama: The Queen’s Garden; Ho’omana’o: Remembering the Kauluwela Boys, and Oli Mahalo and E Iho Ana cards.
Mikiʻai ma ka ʻōlelo means a finger-dip of poi, poetically referencing one getting a small taste or bite-sized piece of information on a topic. We are proud to present the first issue of our new Mikiʻai series featuring a mikiʻai on the Makahiki season, interactive social media, and coloring activities, as well as common oli makahiki.
The second issue of the Mikiʻai Series takes a look at Makahiki season, with a recollections, interactive social media, a coloring page, and a common oli makahiki.
