Moʻolelo

Moʻolelo (Literature) are the oral histories, traditions, and stories of Native Hawaiians that have been passed down through the generations. Today, moʻolelo also include written histories. By connecting ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi and Moʻolelo, we learn the deeper, more meaningful histories of place, and allow for greater connection to ʻāina.
