ABOUT THE PROGRAM


In 2010, the Wahi Kūpuna Internship Program was created by Huliauapaʻa with support and funding from Kamehameha Schools. The internship program is open to undergraduate students in any of the University of Hawai‘i campuses or UH Community Colleges, who are enrolled in Anthropology, Archaeology, Hawaiian Studies or a related field. During the program, interns engage in place and community based cultural resource management projects that are geared towards developing cultural, academic, social, professional, and technical skillsets.
