Ancestral teachings tell us that language is an enabling factor of our ability to prosper. Like the ʻaʻaliʻi kū makani, language revitalization has become a way to demonstrate strength and resilience. In this, the 2019 UN Year of Indigenous Languages, the first-ever Hawaiian Language panel at the Hawaiʻi Conservation Conference convened to celebrate Hawaiʻi’s ancestral language and culture, to demonstrate their important role in conservation efforts, and to situate ancestral teachings in present-day conservation contexts.
